RE: Smarten up, buddy. TMTA needs those design wins, like that Sharp notebook you linked to in your response. It sounds like HP's TC1000 and other designs are doing very well, which hopefully has a short term impact. If it doesn't, then I don't know what will. If TMTA still looks rosy to you at the end of the year, and if they are still losing money despite the design wins and Astro later on, then you're welcome to be the sole shareholder, because I think the rest of Wall Street will be bailing out, myself included.

Re: Re: I think that Transmeta has been trying to ethically collect payment from Intel for some time. Since all the the respective pending patents have been granted to Transmeta they feel they now have enough ammo (or maybe even a smoking gun) for some litigation.
Re: That's enough spin to get anyone dizzy. Ever stop to think why Intel denied royalties to TMTA at previous attempts? I'm sure it was because Intel management is evil, that they couldn't possibly have fathomed litigation, and that they really have no defense against enormous damages. Right.

<<
IP Providers Transmeta and Tensilica to Join Fujitsu in Booth 833
>>
http://www.newswire.ca/en/releases/archive/January2007/26/c9797.html
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Jan. 26 /CNW/ -- Fujitsu Microelectronics America,
Inc. (FMA) will feature its high-performance 65-nanometer process technology
and 10Gbps Ethernet switch in booth 833 at this year's DesignCon, January
29-31, at the Santa Clara Convention Center. Two leading developers of
intellectual property; Transmeta Corporation with its LongRun2 IP; and
Tensilica Corporation with its Diamond Standard processor cores, will feature
their IPs available from Fujitsu.
Fujitsu is now accepting ASIC designs for production using its 65nm
technology (see September 12, 2006, news release,
http://www.fujitsu.com/us/news/pr/fma_20060912-2.html ). Fujitsu's 65nm
process technology integrates 11 interconnect layers and uses advanced copper
and porous low-k dielectric materials to increase device signal speeds and
reduce power consumption. A chip built using Fujitsu's 65nm technology will be
only 60 percent the size of the same chip built using its 90nm technology,
applying the same LSI specifications.
Fujitsu's 65nm process is available through the company's CS200HP, CS200G
and CS200A series. The CS200HP was developed for high-end, high-performance
server CPU devices and networking designs; while the CS200G was designed for
general-purpose applications that require a good balance between performance
and stand-by power consumption. The CS200A is best suited for mobile products
such as cellular phones, notebook computers, and other digital consumer
products that require minimum power consumption.
Fujitsu will also demonstrate its MB87Q3020 single-chip, 20-port, 10Gbps
Ethernet switch. The industry's first switch IC to support a direct, 10Gbps
serial interface to XFP optical modules, the MB87Q3020 provides a complete
solution for developing state-of-the-art network server, blade server and
storage applications. The switch chip delivers 400+Gbps, non-blocking,
aggregate switching bandwidth through 3Mbytes of proprietary, multi-stream
shared buffer memory, with the on-chip 10Gbps serial SerDes. The SerDes
technology, which was developed by Fujitsu, is available to customers.
<<

In the picture from the Transmeta website Lester M. Crudele strangely reminds me of Apples Steve Jobs. Comparing them, they could be cousins or so.
Funny. I was thinking the exact same thing.
I was thinking more along the logic of "you can do the crime if you can do the time".
You must be referring to TMTA waiting until it was no longer
selling MPUs before going after Intel over IP.
Nope.
You mean, "your mileage may vary"? :))))
I was thinking more along the logic of "you can do the crime if you can do the time".
RE: "What do you think about this latest debacle? It's not bloody likely that Intel could have infringed on a patent in the Pentium III without TMTA knowing it until today. Either it's something they were holding off on because their own processors infringed on 10x as many patents that Intel owns, in which case they have nothing more to fear, since their processor line is now effectively non-existent. Or, it's an easily defendable generalistic patent as far as wording, to which probably tons of prior art already exists, and TMTA just figures it's worth a shot in the dark, in the hopes that one of the 10 patents they mention has a chance of hitting them with a settlement."
I think that Transmeta has been trying to ethically collect payment from Intel for some time. Since all the the respective pending patents have been granted to Transmeta they feel they now have enough ammo (or maybe even a smoking gun) for some litigation.

Transmeta Announces Patent Infringement Lawsuit Against Intel Corporation
http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/061011/20061011006034.html?.v=1
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Transmeta Corporation (NASDAQ:TMTA - News), the leader in efficient computing technologies, today announced that it has filed a lawsuit against Intel Corporation in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware for infringement of ten Transmeta U.S. patents covering computer architecture and power efficiency technologies.
The complaint charges that Intel has infringed and is infringing Transmeta's patents by making and selling a variety of microprocessor products including at least Intel's Pentium III, Pentium 4, Pentium M, Core and Core 2 product lines. The complaint requests an injunction against Intel's continuing sales of infringing products as well as monetary damages, including reasonable royalties on infringing products, treble damages and attorneys' fees.
"Transmeta has developed a strong portfolio of intellectual property rights to capture and protect our proud legacy of developing advanced computing and microprocessor technologies," said John O'Hara Horsley, executive vice president and general counsel at Transmeta. "Intel has acknowledged that Transmeta has been an innovative spur to some of Intel's own development efforts, roadmap decisions and new product successes. At the same time, Intel has practiced multiple Transmeta inventions in its major microprocessor product lines. After endeavoring to negotiate with Intel for fair compensation for the continued use of our intellectual property, we have concluded that we must turn to the judicial system to be fairly compensated for our inventions."
"Transmeta's commitment to technological innovation has yielded highly valuable intellectual property. As a part of our business decision last year to increasingly focus on monetizing our IP through technology licensing, we understood that in some cases we might need to pursue enforcement through the courts," said Arthur L. Swift, president and CEO of Transmeta. "We believe that the action we have taken today is an appropriate step to return value to our stockholders from our investments over the past decade."

Ford to offer TabletPCs in F-Series pickups
http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000923066095/
Ford, Motorola, and California Custom Sport Trucks have teamed up to offer Stargate Mobile touchscreen PCs as dealer-installed accessories in F-Series pickups starting next year. Ford introduced what it’s calling the “mobile office” at the Specialty Equipment Market Association show in Vegas, which includes the Stargate-manufactured TabletPC, cellular broadband, GPS, and a printer. The PC certainly isn’t cutting edge, sporting a 1 GHz Transmeta Crusoe processor, 256MB RAM, 4GB flash memory (no hard drive here, folks), 8.4-inch SVGA screen, and PCMCIA and CompactFlash slots. However, since Ford is targeting this not at mobile programmers and desgners but at construction contractors, the setup should suffice for basic bidding, ordering, and invoicing tasks.

Lower power tech could see longer, faster PlayStation goodness.
27th Jan 2005
http://spong.com/detail/news.asp?mode=news&type=n&cid=&pid=&vid=&prid=8275&n...
Transmeta confirmed speculation on Monday that Sony has licensed its LongRun2 technology. Old and not altogether riveting news, you might think. We suggest it's potentially quite exciting. LongRun2 is a power management technology that reduces the voltage required to activate transistors in Large Scale Integrated circuits (LSI), even shutting them down completely when they are not in use. As more transistors are crammed on each chip, the more pronounced the problem becomes - and the improvements LongRun2 can bring.
Sony plans to use the technology on it's 90nm chip fabrication, such as those used in its DVD recorders, and of course, the PSP's 90nm CPU and Media Engine. Lower power consumption can only be a good thing for the PSP, blighted since conception by claims of sub-two hour battery life. Though the release of the handheld has demonstrated much better battery life, it's far from ideal. There's no doubt that LongRun2 will help improve the situation, though isn't going to alter the heavy drain created by the UMD drive motor.
Of course, a reduction in power consumption results in less heat generated within the chip. In applications where battery life is never going to be an issue, let's just suggest the PS3's 90nm CELL processor, then as every overclocker knows, there's the opportunity to increase the chip's clock speed for better performance. Don't get your hopes up just yet. With license deals of this magnitude taking months to cut through corporate red-tape, there's a pretty good chance that the recently announced 4.6GHz clock speed for CELL already catered for the inclusion of LongRun2.
On an interesting side note, Transmeta and nVidia have long been close friends and collaborators, with rumours going so far as to suggest that nVidia may even buy Transmeta. With Transmeta, Sony and nVidia all working closely together, it's hard not to speculate that PS3's nVidia GPU might use LongRun2 for better performance.
-119
The demo also monitored clock speed, which ranged from 1.2GHz up to 2.0GHz, with the majority of the playback happening with the CPU at 1.4/1.6GHz. While 1.6GHz Efficeon products are available today, 2.0GHz offerings should be hitting the streets before the end of the year. For the first time we were actually impressed with the level of performance from a Transmeta CPU, but we'd actually like to put it head to head with a Dothan based Pentium M to see how strong the performance really is.
According to Transmeta, the 2.0GHz Efficeon is comparable in overall performance to a 3.0GHz Pentium 4. The WMV HD decode test does back up Transmeta's claims, but it's still a tough pill to swallow given Transmeta's prior performance history.
Commiserations to those who OD’d on the TMTA KoolAid.

Transmeta intros nifty mini motherboard
CES 2005 Tinier than tiny
By Charlie Demerjian: Sunday 09 January 2005, 17:36
TRANSMETA HAD A REALLY NEAT motherboard at CES this year, it was extremely small. If you notice the pen sitting on it, you can get a good idea how small this is. It is a complete mobo also, with a CF and DIMM slot, plus just about everything else you would expect from a laptop. The reason I say laptop is that it is a laptop mobo. The size allows it to do some really neat things it they could not do last year. Remember the Sharp laptop from last year? Remember how thin and light it was? Now imagine one a little thicker with a DVD built in. This is going to be one cool laptop, and it should be on sale soon. The MSRP is about $1899, and the one from last year without the DVD is $1499.
Transmeta was also showing off a 2GHz Efficion CPU, no word on ship date, and a bunch of tiny mobos. There was the usual Longrun 2 technology demo running on these boards, with deep sleep power consumption on the 2GHz model in the 50-60mW range. Without LR2, it was in the 150-200mW range, quite an improvement.
Last they had a bunch of media center PCs, all of which were much more polished than the one they had at Computex. The current Efficions could decode multiple video streams in realtime, they had one playing on the screen and another on a media center extender a few feet away. Overall, I think Transmeta is a good fit for media center PCs because of the ability to run fanless.

What applications did you test? Can you comment on ease of input, specifically the keypad.
I tested applications that I use for development. This includes Borland JBuilder 8, Microsoft Visual SourceSafe, SQL Server 8 Enterprise Manager. I use Microsoft Office 2003. In addition I run the applications that are developed by my company. Some of our applications are pretty demanding of performance.
As far as the keypad goes it is pretty small but it is usable. I think one would just have to just get use to it. I have not used it much because I have an external keyboard plugged into it.
One more thing, the speakers are kind of crappy compared to my TC1000.

Here is a brief review of the Sharp MP30...
I would like to begin by stating that the TM8800 1.6GHz processor powering my Sharp MP30 is very fast. I guess I should use the term “snappy”. I am comparing my experience against the classic 1GHz Crusoe TM5800 operating under Windows XP Tablet PC edition on my TC1000 Tablet PC. That said I think that the TM5800 is fast enough for most tasks but the performance TM8800 has been more than significantly improved.
The unit is very small and very light and the included DVD/CD-RW is a very nice upgrade. It has handled everything I have thrown at it and the response has been very satisfying. I admit that I have not played any games but I have watched DVDs and the playback has been very smooth. The screen is very clear and bright and displays 3D images remarkably well. Overall I have to say that I am very impressed with this unit. The most demanding applications load very fast the first time and extremely fast thereafter. Battery life seems very good but I have yet to formally evaluate it.
What don’t I like about the MP30? Two things come to mind. The first problem I have is that it only ships with XP Home Edition. It is possible to manually upgrade it to XP Professional (which I have) but that adds $200.00+ to the overall cost. The second problem I have with the unit is that a docking station is not currently available. This makes it a real pain to grab and go. I want to note that the screen is on the small side but that is part of the design. I know that this computer is not targeted at business users. I personally feel that this is a shame because it easily fits within this category.
In summary, I highly recommend this unit and so far I am extremely impressed with the evolution of the efficeon processor technology. Please feel free to ask me anything that I have not covered.

119, Re: Vulcan
Does this product use the Crusoe or the Efficeon (130nm or 90nm)?
It is rumored that the Vulcan will indeed ship with the TM8800 but we will have to wait and see. If it uses a TM5800 then I am not very exited about the first model.

- 119
I purchased (well, my company did) a Sharp MP30 last week. It is due to arrive on Monday (Wahoo!). We are going to evaluate it and if it delivers like I know it will we are going to order one for every single employee.
I am so very exited and I am really anticipating the experience and snappy performance of a 1.6 GHz E* TM8800 (over 4 1/2 hours battery life). I have more than used and abused my Tablet PC (TC1000 1 GHz Crusoe) for close to 2 years now and overall it has served me very well. That said, I am now ready to upgrade to the latest technology. I don't want to go down the road of an Intel/Sony solution and I am so glad that I have the choice ;)
MP30 review to follow soon...

Sharp introduces new Efficeon-based notebook
By Wolfgang Gruener, Senior Editor
October 11, 2004 - 11:20 EST
http://www.tomshardware.com/hardnews/20041011_112012.html
Huntington Beach (CA) - Sharp today announced the successor of its first notebook with Transmeta's Efficeon launched in March of this year. The new Actius MP30 offers a bit more of everything: More performance, more multimedia and more battery life.
Sharp's Actius line always has been a serious contender in the ultra portable segment, but its small size and choice of components limited its success. The MM20, launched in March of this year, was criticized for its lack of performance through a first-generation 1GHz Efficeon processor, a harddrive with only 20 GByte capacity.
The new Actius MP30 tackles those issues and offers what appears to be a solid update. The core of the device now is a 90 nm TM 8800 Efficeon chip, clocked at 1.6 GHz. Instead of 3 hours battery life, Sharp now claims 4.6 hours. At 2.8 lbs, the notebook remains a small and lightweight package, but now includes a 40 GByte harddrive, 802.11g wireless connectivity. ATI's Mobility Radeon 7500 GPU with 32 MByte memory, a CD-RW/DVD combo drive. As the preceding model, the new notebook also comes standard with 512 MByte DDR memory, which can be upgraded to 1 GByte.
As several other notebooks, the MP30 can play CDs and DVDs without fully booting the system. Included are headphones with built-in remote to control the audio/video functions of the device.
While we have not yet reviewed the MP30, it is no secret that also the new Actius generation will not be a powerhouse. Also, the criticism about the small 10.4-inch screen and the small keyboard will be heard again. But there appears to be little doubt that the new Actius will continue to be a nice complementary computer for the desktop PC.
The MP30 will retail for about $1900.
