Transmeta Up For Sale

Posted by timothy on from the when-a-name-bespeaks-transition dept.

arcticstoat writes "After giving up on the CPU manufacturing business in 2005, low-power CPU designer Transmeta has announced that it's up for sale. In a statement, the processor company that brought us the mobile Crusoe and Efficeon series of CPUs said that it has 'initiated a process to seek a potential sale of the Company.' The announcement came straight after Transmeta reached a legal agreement with Intel over Transmeta's intellectual property and patents, which includes Intel making a one-off payment of $91.5 million US to Transmeta before the end of this month, as well as annual payments of $20 million US every year from 2009 through 2013."

      Look, I'm sorry if you considered the directive in my previous post ("blow me for FP!") as flamebait. I already failed at FP, now you subject me to further humiliation by modding me down? What kind of man are you?

  2. COMON APPLE! by HerculesMO · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Comon Jobs, you know that your ego isn't small enough not to produce the chips inside those Macs of yours!

    So buy it and put them into your Macs, and then increase prices more so Apple dies a horrible death and I don't have to keep talking to Mac fanboys :(

    Sorry I'm a tad unstable, it's almost Friday... but not yet :p

    The price is always right if someone else is paying.
