 Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

ambiguous=

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

Does Transmeta publish their VLIW instruction set? How much info if publicly available? As I understand it, currently the processors are shipped/intergrated in an x86 only configuration, right? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.178.230.241 (talk • contribs) 01:50, 11 October 2004

Does Transmeta publish their VLIW instruction set? No.
How much info if publicly available? It is IP. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Admiral tojo (talk • contribs) 22:45, 15 August 2006

CMS

Is the Code Morphing Software (CMS) built into the microprocessor chip itself, or is it on a separate chip ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by DavidCary (talk • contribs) 22:56, 15 December 2004

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. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.216.45.125 (talk • contribs) 14:47, 2 June 2005
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. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.87.68.252 (talk • contribs) 12:01, 19 June 2007

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.

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.
