Re Transmeta (TMTA):

>> Via and Transmeta actually have an opening in the thin & light, if they have competitive product. Been a while since I checked their products, I should take a peek. <<

Here’s the latest spec brief for the TM5800, TMTA’s most important current offering:

http://www.transmeta.com/pdf/specifications/TM5800_productbrief_030206.pdf

In 3Q03, TMTA is expected to release a new-generation product called the TM8000 (“Astro”), which will double the width of the VLIW processor from 128 to 256. The TM8000 is expected to compete with Centrino and/or P4-M in the full-sized notebook market (14-inch screen) as well as the thin/light segment served by the existing TM5800. Regards, Dew
