Inside Transmeta

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the take-a-look-inside dept.

Quite a number of people have written about this story - here, ContinuousPark writes: "IEEE's Spectrum magazine has an interesting article with a step-by-step account on Crusoe's design process. It also talks about how they got the venture capital by creating the term 'code morphing,' how they hired their staff and how is it to work there, among other details."

  1. More confident about Transmeta by rjamestaylor · · Score: 5
    After reading the article (which everyone does do, right?) I am more confident about Transmeta's technology and future (in the current market dynamics, of course). Why? Because the article does nto mention Linus Torvalds once (except. perhaps, in general reference in the "we hired people straight out of college" section).

    Don't misunderstand, I am a fan of Torvalds.

    It's just that Transmeta is not Linus' idea, it's his employer.

    The fact that this article details the vision (and results of the working-out of that vision) rather than hyping it's Most Famous Employee(SM), is a Good Thing(TM).

    Go Transmeta! (And, go Linus!).
