Go up one level in this thread
These processors are SLOW, especially when they are running the stupid emulator. Notice the blatant lack of performance data on Transmeta's web site. They do have some "benchmarks" but at the beginning of that document, they say that conventional benchmarks are not appropriate for "mobile computers." Translation: "Our chip really sucks at conventional benchmarks, so we'll show you some benchmarks that we made up so we could do well at them." Their goal is evidently to make a low-power chip, and I think they accomplished this goal admirably. But it's definitely not revolutionary, and it's definitely not appropriate for all applications. -Tom
