Transmeta keeps it cool
Transmeta might not find a market for its energy efficient processors, but the underlying technology is very much in demand, the company speculates.
Today the company further outlined its restructuring, which will see all of the company centring around the LongRun2 power saving technology. The technology tackles two issues that will become ever more stressing once we start using a 90 nanometer production process: leakage and overall power consumption.
The company apparently isn't just warming employees and investors up for its upcoming bankruptcy. It just signed a strategic alliance with Sony where Transmeta will supply over 100 engineers to help Sony quickly implement LongRun2 technology. And more such deals are in the works, the company's CEO claims.
It leaves you to wonder however what kind of future Transmeta envisions. With a total staff of just over 200 employees, it appears to have become pretty much an energy consumption consultancy bureau with little manpower dedicated to research and development. That doesn't bode well for the future.
