Transmeta TM8800 And Ultraportable Announced

Posted by timothy on from the smaller-than-a-breadbox dept.

yerdaddie writes "The just-released Transmeta TM8800 has been integrated into a new ultraportable from Sharp. The smaller 90nm variety clocks and performs better than the older 130nm TM86XX Efficeons. It also seems the Orion Multisystems personal clusters discussed earlier on slashdot will be built around this processor variant. Hopefully Transmeta will be releasing a developer kit soon for eager hardware hackers."

    someone wake me up when Sharp decide to build an ultraportable that runs Linux.

    Repeat after me. Winmodems are not modems.
