Hello fellow Wikipedians,

This is said the review (pp. 146 and ). I presently don't feel like putting anymore time in Misplaced Pages editing though, so I won't make any edits to this sucky wiki article.

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
So I found this citation at Tom's Hardware saying "Intel estimates that Silverthorne processors without Hyperthreading will post about 126-130 points in the EEMBC v1.1 benchmark of the Embedded Microprocessor Benchmark Consortium, while the hyperthreaded versions will reach up to 172 points Transmeta's discontinued 1 GHz Efficeon CPU with a score of 137.". However, the EEMBC does not have an "EEMBC v1.1" benchmark as such. They do have a Digital Entertainment benchmark where the Transmeta Efficeon 1GHz indeed scored 137. I was completely unable to unearth the source of that 126-130 points claim. {{unsigned|Chx1975}}
: To add insult to the injury, the vague benchmark is ] to claim there was a 1.6 GHz Efficeon, which consumed the same as the Atom, something that's completely not in the source! ] (]) 16:01, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

The article seems to cover too broad a range of topics to be comprehensive in either.
It would be helpful to split the discussion into Transmeta (the company) and Transmeta's VLIW technology (which can go into more
details of benchmarks and performance).


{{sourcecheck|checked=false|needhelp=}}
Linking to an article discussing the merits of VLIW and parallel execution units, compared with the more 'traditional'
multiple core ideas being promoted by the traditional processor companies would also be helpful.

Linus Torvalds has by now left Transmeta to dedicate himself to the further development of the Linux Kernel.

the above sounds a bit ambiguous - when did Torvalds actually leave Transmeta? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kpjas (talk • contribs) 02:35, 16 May 2004
