Amiga & Transmeta?

kmj9907 its all the buzz- apparently the latest rumor is that Amiga and Transmeta will be working together on the new line of Amiga boxes. There still isn't concrete news, but the rumors have been propogating as fast as electrons can carry them around the net.

  1. Some dude on the street told me this!!!! by Wakko+Warner · · Score: 5
    Guy who lives in back of 7-11 is big into the whole technology thing. For 5 dollars and a package of Winstons he told me this incredible news!!!!

    The new Amiga CPU will be the fastest CPU ever created and there will never be one faster than it. It was so fast that the Bytemark tests needed to be re-coded to use long doubles instead of integers for the resulting score. He said it can encode an entire CD into MP3s in under 12 seconds, it's cracked RC5-DES in just under 4 minutes (the encoded message was "Eat your liverwurst, it's good for you," by the way), and it rendered all the water scenes in the Titanic sequel during the union-mandated lunch break yesterday afternoon. It beat Deep Blue the other day at checkers and tomorrow it's playing tennis against Agassi (the Amiga is a 3-2 favorite). Steve Jobs saw it and had to change his pants, and Andy Grove is still semi-catatonic over the whole deal. Wcarchive replaced cdrom.com's old machine with one just yesterday and upped the user limit to 65,535. It makes the lightest, fluffiest pancakes you've ever tasted and it brews a mean lager. It downed a bottle of JD and didn't even flinch.

    Suffice it to say, everyone will want one. It also comes in puce.

    Woo!
