chill writes "We've recently seen announcements, product launches and reviews from AMD and Intel on their new low power chipsets. Not to be left out, Transmeta has more details on their forthcoming Astro processor. Slashdot covered the Astro back at Comdex in November."

i would love to see some real reviews which actually describe the performance specifically. i am looking forward to the chip, but right now it's next to vaporware. are chips out for review with nda's yet? i've googled--er used google--and have found only reviews from comdex.
And most of that doesn't go to the CPU. The new Pentium M uses less than 1 watt in that state. Where do you think the other 6 watts go?
If Transmeta came out with a 0 watt processor they would increase your battery life 14%.
That means infinite R&D could give them a 15% advantage in power usage/battery life. What a terrible market to be in. It would be a miracle if they last much longer.
wow, who modded that shit up?
In SOVIET RUSSIA... erm...NSA AMERICA, the Internet logs onto YOU!
Hey, could you folks stop saying that slashdot "covers" stories? It links stories, with a few smart ass comments. They do not write the article, do the research, etc. What a pretentious statement to say its "covered" on slashdot, when no valuable work is done except linking it.
Go ahead, flame me.
