“I was at an insider event recently to hear software bigwigs
bluff and bluster about their products.”
“As I was checking out the bacon-wrapped scallops, I heard Intel
CEO Craig Barrett dismissing chip upstart and rival Transmeta.”
“That’s when I first realized that Transmeta might be in real
trouble. Intel is a famously paranoid company. If they’re not
taking Transmeta seriously, then the young chip maker could indeed
be hurting.“
“Then more bad news surfaced this week about Transmeta on the
eve of its initial public offering. Let’s take a closer look at
Transmeta and the news around it, then I’ll tell you why we’ll all
benefit from a lively Transmeta.”
