John: More Banias issues to obsess about. If this is true, Sony must be really impressed with Banias, and the launch date is probably quite a bit sooner than Q3 of 2003 - wouldn't you agree? Monica 213.219.40.69 Intel Banias to topple Transmeta from Sony perch Sources claim new refresh next year By Mike Magee: Thursday 18 July 2002, 12:55 THE SONY PICTUREBOOK C1, which currently uses Transmeta Crusoe chip technology, looks like it will topple to Intel in the next design refresh, according to sources close to the Japanese company. That bad news for Transmeta comes on a day when we expect the firm to have to lay off people after close of play on Wall Street. The sources claimed that Intel's Banias mobile processor, which is slated to be released in Q1 of next year, will replace the Transmeta chips when Sony re-freshes the product line next year. If the sources are reliable, and we believe them to be very reliable, this will come as a blow. Sony, along with some other Japanese notebook companies, have held the flag aloft for Transmeta right from the early days. You can find what a Sony Picturebook looks like here, if you haven't seen one before. µ See Also Transmeta to lay off chunk of staff It has a poison pill clause, so has to agree takeover
