Hello fellow Wikipedians,
:::CMS is a software layer, there is no better place than sitting itself in the bottom of system firmware, stored in EEPROM on the system mainboard. Integrating CMS onto the chip itself help nothing, because CMS is an ISA emulation software running on Transmeta processors, not microcodes found in NexGen 5x86. CMS faces to the target system, driving up the system through the engine, Transmeta processor. ] (]) 00:26, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

A bullet is "Can easily run Linux". The company can easily run Linux?

==VansHardware site==
The VansHardware site referenced in footnote 4 has been established as being created by a via employee. At the time the referenced article was written via and transmeta were actively competing for the same business. I think the annotated assertions based solely on that website should be removed due to objectivity.

: That's less of problem than the fact that the source is cited simply to be contradicted (in Misplaced Pages's voice) without a citation, in violation of ]. That reviewers were "unfair" by comparing the chip with more power-hungry ones may or may not be okay, given the astounding success of ]s in general (and of Intel's Atom too.) ] (]) 16:08, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

* If anyone is curious why the Efficeon sucked in the market, look for example at an actual product review of the Sharp Actius MM20 . Despite the low power consumption of the CPU in this Sharp machine (1GHz Efficeon), its battery life was only about 2 hrs.—on par with a 1-GHz Pentium M system with as similar (actually a bit smaller!) battery, and the Sharp was worse in terms of performance compared to about anything else in that roundup. This is said the PC Mag review (pp. 146 and ). A CNET review has similar findings . 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. Ta-ta. ] (]) 23:29, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

==Tomshardware==

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. <small><span class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) </span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->
: 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)

== Split article? ==

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).

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
