HP Compaq t5710 Thin Client is the First Efficeon Powered Thin Client Available
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 5, 2004--Transmeta Corporation (Nasdaq:TMTA - News), the leader in efficient computing, today announced that its high performance and energy efficient Transmeta Efficeon(TM) TM8600 processor has been incorporated in the new HP Compaq t5710 Thin Client. The t5710 is the first thin client with the high performance Efficeon processor. This design win strengthens Transmeta's presence in the fast growing thin client market and raises the standard of performance in the thin client segment.
A thin client is a network computer without a hard disk that provides lower ownership costs and offers improved manageability for businesses. The HP t5710, powered by the 1.1GHz Efficeon TM8600 processor, offers high performance for users requiring a powerful and flexible thin client. The Efficeon TM8600 is ideally suited for use in thin clients as it combines the performance needed to handle today's demanding applications and an energy efficient design that allows for a small, quiet and fanless form factor.
The Efficeon-powered HP t5710 thin client is the newest device in the t5000 series, which historically had exclusively used Transmeta Crusoe® processors. Providing businesses a compelling value based on their affordability, ease of use and simple manageability, HP thin clients are ideal for medical, financial services, government and other businesses where access to centralized applications in a desktop-like experience is desired.
"Transmeta is pleased that the high performance of Efficeon is now available in an innovative new thin client from HP," said Arthur L. Swift, senior vice president of marketing at Transmeta. "This product availability expands Transmeta's position in the thin client market and shows continued support from HP with their entire t5000 thin client line based upon Transmeta processors."
"The impressive performance per watt afforded by Transmeta processors helps HP deliver an unbeatable combination of price and performance to our customers," said Tad Bodeman, director, thin client product marketing at HP. "The Efficeon processor-powered HP t5710 extends the boundaries of thin client computing, delivering new levels of end user experience and positioning customers to take advantage of new blade PC computing models."
