Transmeta Announces Settlement of Patent Litigation, Technology Transfer and
License Agreement with Intel

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct 24, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Transmeta Corporation (TMTA)
today announced that it has reached an agreement with Intel to settle all claims
between them and to license the Transmeta patent portfolio to Intel for use in
current and future Intel products.

The agreement will grant Intel a perpetual non-exclusive license to all Transmeta
patents and patent applications, including any patent rights later acquired by
Transmeta, now existing or as may be filed during the next ten years. Transmeta
will also transfer technology and grant to Intel a non-exclusive license to
Transmeta's LongRun and LongRun2 technologies and future improvements. Under the
agreement, Intel will covenant not to sue Transmeta for the development and
licensing to third parties of Transmeta's LongRun and LongRun2 technologies.

The agreement provides for Intel to make an initial $150 million payment to
Transmeta as well as to pay Transmeta an annual license fee of $20 million for
each of the next five years.

The agreement also provides for the parties to dismiss their pending patent
litigation with prejudice and for a mutual general release of all claims of any
type between the parties.

"We are very pleased to have reached this agreement with Intel," said Les
Crudele, president and CEO of Transmeta. "We believe that this arrangement will
create value for Transmeta stockholders both by realizing immediate financial
value for our intellectual property rights and by supporting our technology
development and licensing business going forward."
