Were not talking about transmeta. Intel has owned elbrus tech since 04.

Which gave intel plenty of time to tweak. Any way a 16 core cpu with dedicated elbrus compiler with shared cache on all cores should transalate x86 in real time. with lots of vector power I see a raytracing monster coming from intel.

If you read the article you know what tranmetas short comings were . Intel has the tech to over come those short comings.

The idea here isn't to point out were tranmeta failed. But to discuss how intel will over come those short comings. Just as the article was talking about. All of those short comings that were discussed in that article intel has the teck to overcome these problems. Than Intel will be free of the shackles
Which bind them to x86 and MS. I processer that can run any OS in true 64 bit binaries is a wonderful thing . For all of us.
