The Transmeta chip uses 256 bit long instrucions. It doesn't necessarily mean it has 256 bit registers or a 256 bit memory address space. Even current Transmeta chips use long instruction words. The main advantages of the chip are its ability to emulate other processors' instruction sets (including x86) and low power consumption. It isn't targeted at applications requring high datathroughput or computation speed. --Jon On June 01, 2002 at 08:55:33, leonid wrote: >Hi, > >My friend send me one link that speak about possible 256 bit processor.
