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.

      You loser. It always takes some childish twit like you to spoil a forum aimed at adults. There are those of us here that read /. and engage in discussions because we find it interesting. Being the first one to post a reply to a story, when that reply has no worthwhile content, is cause for shame, not pride.

    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!

    I'm not sure what to say about this insensitive horrible post (probably except this insensitive reply). That you are purposely trying to rile up people or just completely oblivious to how ignorant you are, I'm not sure. I would like to assume you are asking IF you had done the "right thing", and IMHO , you haven't in the least.

    You assulted somone in the U.S. A woman, a woman of religion whose probably in the U.S. because of the indemities of her former country and how they treat their citizens, ESPECIALLY women. (YOU know, that freedom of religion, freedom of speech thing right side of the right to bear arms..the hallmark of our American way of life) Do you realize by just being in that store buying groceries on her own, she was doing something that would be condemned by death under the Taliban? And yet , there you are, out of fear and hatred, denying her the liberties of being a U.S. citizen, short of pulling a weapon out and aiming (after all, isn't that a Constitutional right?). You know what people like that are called? Terrorists. You, and those who silently praised you, invoked terror upon innocent civilians. And as a U.S citizen, I uphold the belief not to support or harbor terrorists.

    Of all the nations in the world, the U.S. harbors the most immigrants wanting to escape the policies and politics of their former homeland - we are the great American melting pot; and because of that, we live among diversity and are strengthened by it - if you are an American, live with it.

    But if you can't, search up your family tree, find which country you came from, and YOU defect from the U.S.A., because if you think you are doing the right thing to callously attack your fellow citizens, you certainly aren't American.

    (Hmm, I bet this guy's wife was REALLLLLLY impressed how he beat up another woman for a change....Maybe next time, he sees another woman in religious garb, he'll beat up a Nun, if doesn't find an "off-white" person to be abusive to while intoxicated at the wheel.)

    I am telling you, tt wasn't the Muslims! It is the Linux-heads and their socialist agenda. Linus is the leader of the whole thing. His employment at Transmeta is just a front.
