Interesting, I wonder if the non-deterministic behavior of Transmeta's processors makes it harder to perform cryptographic timing attacks on them. Anecdotally, I once owned a netbook that used one of these processors, a Vaio PCG-U3, but didn't notice any difference in speed when compared to other netbooks employing Atom processors, both were practically unusable even for basic activities.

great article. fun to see things like

Transmeta usually steers the conversation toward performance on DES algorithms or MPEG loops, tasks that play into Crusoe's (and Efficeon's) strengths. 'MPEG loops' got a lot more important in the intervening years

transmeta was right. their approach was better, it should have won.
