Transmeta To Release Next Generation CPU

CodeShark writes: "According to this story at CNN, Transmeta is set to release their new TM6000 microprocessor this afternoon. The chip apparently incorporates some of the functions usually provided by high-performance (and high price!) chip sets. Transmeta is reporting a further reduction in power requirements by 44% and sees the laptop and sub-laptop markert as the primary markets for their new CPU. Intel and AMD claim to be catching up with the Transmeta chips in terms of power requirements, I'd be curious to find out what the real world comparisons might make of those claims ..." If anyone out there is at Microprocessor Forum, please say in comments any further details that are made clear there.

    How could you possibly consider that "the right thing"?!? You verbaly assaulted a woman on the basis of the actions that a few people (who happened to be members of her religon) carried out. Religion is a tool of terrorism, it's not the other way around! Your actions (and dissapointingly the actions of the other patrons) show nothing but uneducated bigotry. What evidence did you have that she, in any way, approved of the attack! Do you approve of the actions of the KKK? Did you consider that she may of had a relative who worked in the WTC and was killed on Sept.11. And yet you congradulate yourself on you actions and affirm that you are a true American!
