Jim, <Transmeta chip> Are you trying to make fun of Yousef? His "expertise", if any, is limited to a single test FET on a wafer. He seems to have very little idea about 4+ FET structure called CMOS "gate". And now you are asking him about a modern art to combine tens of million gates into a number crunching engine... Come on, be reasonable, pity him.

Very interesting reading, Jim. However, this quote grabbed my attention: <The upshot is this: sections of the patent (No. 5,832,205) discuss a chip that can translate Intel chip instructions into a more advanced format referred to as VLIW (Very Long Instruction Word). VLIW is a catch-all term for a variety of technologies that essentially combine many simple computer instructions into a single long instruction which can then be executed more efficiently and quickly than current computer code.> Uh, doesn't Merced ring a bell?
