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?


Does Transmeta publish their VLIW instruction set?

No.

How much info if publicly available?

It is IP.

As I understand it, currently the processors are shipped/intergrated in an x86 only configuration, right?


Is the Code Morphing Software (CMS) built into the microprocessor chip itself, or is it on a separate chip ?

Reply: Chances are, (CMS) is going to be built into the processor to help curb bottlenecks in performance. Its probably on a type of prom chip that is part of the processors core.


I thought Transmeta produced yoghurt and Linus Torvalds was employed as a test taster. — JIP | Talk 15:08, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Trivia statement

A bullet is "Can easily run Linux". The company can easily run Linux? If this is in reference to the processors, any processor can run linux as easily as any other operating system.
