Whoa! They burnt a lot of money. I had hope in Transmeta becoming a hot chip company in the mobile segment - laptops, PDAs, etc. I think the Pentium M and Centrino chips from Intel had a lot to do with Transmeta's failure.
Wonder if Linus is still around? Or did he get out earlier?
I saw a reference to a Chinese company recently (govt backed, I think) that was planning to take on Intel in the microprocessors field. Know anything about that? -K Post a Comment
