“…Don MacDonald, director of marketing of the mobile
platform group, also claimed Transmeta’s solution was not
entirely compatible.”
“He said: “You should check whether the Transmeta chip is
100 per cent x86 compatible.” He said information at “Tom’s
Register” led him to that conclusion.”
“He confirmed that Intel would release a 1GHz mobile Pentium III
at some period next year, but declined to give a date for the
launch. … There is a special low power IA group within his
division of Intel, he said, that were able to produce chips running
at a third of a watt.”
