"Transmeta, a top-secret Silicon Valley start-up, apparently hopes to offer
Intel-compatible chips while sidestepping legal landmines, a new patent reveals."
"A patent awarded to the Silicon Valley chip design firm yesterday, along with another patent
issued in 1998, show that Transmeta is working on a new chip that can emulate an Intel chip."
"But the newest patent indicates that Transmeta is taking a very different tack than what other
Intel chip cloners such as AMD and Cyrix have used, according to independent patent
consultant Richard Belgard."
