Leonid, Thanks to http://www.transmeta.com we will have processors built by IBM that will handle applications that are written in 16,32,64 and 128 bit. Don't ask me how they do this but it is called "code-morphing technology". The central part of the TM processors is written in 128 bit Linux code by Linus Torvalds. The really fantastic part of these Crusoe processors is the 10 milliwatt to 2 watt power consumption. The initial PC TM 5400 chip will run at 700 Mhz and have an onboard 400 Kbyte cache. Wow...
