“Transmeta is likely to be first to the market with .13
micron technology available in notebooks, although sources familiar
with the firm’s plans have said that it is now likely to be the
second half of next year before Crusoe products are widely
avilable.”

“Earlier this year, the firm was telling Taiwanese notebook
manufacturers that a TM5800 1GHz processor was likely around the
end of the year, as reported here.”

“The TM5800 family will scale to 1GHz and include between 512KB
and 1MB of second level cache as standard in a 360-pin package
measuring a mere 25 square mm.”
