What happened to Transmeta and their Crusoe?
- gsnedders 13y agoBought by Novafora who then went bust.
- Osiris 13y agoI had a Crusoe based ultrabook during college (2002ish-2005). Performance wasn't fantastic, but it was a third the size or less than most people's laptops, and I could get 8-10 hours out of it. I didn't even take my power cord to school with me.
- yuhong 13y agoWhat is funny is that it integrated the northbridge into the CPU long before Intel did.
- puzzlingcaptcha 13y agoTransmeta also later developed Efficeon which had a number of improvements over Crusoe (Hypertransport instead of shared PCI bus for chipset interconnect, larger cache and VLIW instruction length, SSE extensions). HP used it in some of their thin clients. A few years ago I compared it to VIA C7 http://fijam.eu.org/blog/benchmarking-transmeta-efficeon/ http://fijam.eu.org/blog/benchmarking-transmeta-efficeon/
