What went wrong?

No, the whole company was bought out by a US government proprietary, brought completely underground, and National Security Letters were handed all around making people promise never to speak of it again.

Prove me wrong. t. Transmeta owner.

white CIS scum killed it

>>57912234
Yes, in the form of Nvidia Denver

now do you see why the NSA shit-canned it?

Actchiually, emulating other processor architectures made them the least efficient mobile CPU out there.

However, both AMD and Intel have improved the concept to make the most efficient mobile CPUs.

At the time it had excellent power efficiency, though it wasn't the fastest it was the most efficient for a time.

This was in the P4 time, so...

Really? Transmeta was competing with P4-class computers?

It beat Intel's low power chip / board sets roundly in performance and battery life. You're right though, Intel made a lot of hogs.

Hahaha this theory is so /g/ that I wouldn't be surprised if it really happened.

>They had the most efficient mobile CPU out there.
As long it as cooled in a freezer.

>Are they still around?
Their patents portfolio was bought and still exists.

>including ppc
why would you have wanted to subject yourself to that braindead shit even ironically?

>it would have been the first 128 or 256 bit architecture
not really, instructions were still 32 bits long, they just grouped 2-4 of them together, and you could probably argue they weren't "natively" programmed for a reason, people were having enough difficulty getting the VLIW Itanium to not be a piece of shit and that was with the might of Intel, HP, IBM and SGI behind it

>braindead shit
PPC is and was superior to Intel for many types of workload.

Child detected.
