Background story: Transmeta Crusoe
A new background story on The Silicon Underground focuses on Transmeta's Crusoe CPU, an unusual processor from the early 2000s that competed with Intel with its energy-efficient design and later continued as an IP licence model. In the article, David L. Farquhar traces how Transmeta initially sought to score points in the market for mobile and energy-efficient systems with the Crusoe architecture, but later failed in the face of competition and was acquired by Novafora in 2009.
The story is also interesting for Amiga fans because the Crusoe architecture was at one point considered as a possible CPU basis for Amiga MCC – a project from the Gateway 2000 era that was never realised and was intended to combine classic Amiga philosophy with modern processor performance. (nba)
