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...
