Stories about: Transmeta

Microprocessor designer Transmeta is looking for a buyer. Executives announced plans to sell the company on Wednesday, saying investment bank Piper Jaffray & Co. will act as its financial advisor during the sale process.

Nvidia could put new power-management technology from Transmeta on products such as chips for mobile devices and graphics processors for laptops, the company said on Thursday.

Intel engineers first began toying with a low-power microprocessor almost a decade ago, but their initial design was rejected by the company's top executives and the effort stalled soon after, an Intel executive said on Wednesday.

Intel this week agreed to settle a dispute with Transmeta for US$250 million, ending patent litigation between both companies.

HP on Monday announced its third generation of blade PCs, which it says solves the "Achilles' heel" of most thin-client infrastructures: performance.

AMD's next-generation processor line, code-named Torrenza, has gone from a block diagram to living, breathing silicon. The first incarnation of AMD's redesigned x86 CPU is Barcelona, that which your non-co-readers will call quad-core Opteron. Barcelona is genius, a genuinely new CPU that frees itself entirely of the millstone of the Pentium legacy. It'll do the same for you.

Transmeta has sued Intel, claiming that its Pentium and Core PC processors violate Transmeta patents.

Hewlett-Packard Co. launched its next generation thin-client computers Wednesday, rolling out the t5720, which uses Advanced Micro Devices chips. HP previously used processors from Transmeta, which no longer makes chips.

Sun Microsystems and Hewlett-Packard Co. are each offering new thin-client computing technologies, but they're giving users different choices: server-based clients versus ones that are supported by rack-mounted blade PCs.

HP is releasing an update to its blade PC product, switching to AMD's processors for its alternative to traditional desktop PCs.

Hewlett-Packard (HP) on Tuesday took the wraps off new thin-client devices designed to help IT managers provide basic computing power for low-end users with greater control over those systems.
