Microprocessors keyword: Crusoe (Computer program) Transmeta Corporation -- Products ab: A notoriously secretive firm, Transmeta, based in Santa Clara, California, unveiled its revolutionary new microchip on January 19, 2000. While some saw the new chip as an anti-climax to the months of speculation, geeks around the world have not been disappointed by Transmeta's design. The new design combines a number of computer tricks in an entirely novel way. The most obvious benefit is a microprocessor that can run software written for Intel's chips while using a fraction of the power. Transmeta's chips operate in a fundamentally different way that allows them to emulate any existing microprocessor without loosing the performance normally associated with such emulation. The technology also side-steps a number of problems in the design of microprocessors. The company's radical approach looks likely to have a profound influence on the future course of the industry. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
