Does anyone of you worked with Transmeta's Crusoe? Or maybe you have this cpu still working for you? so, how's your battery? ;) Do you know where can i find more information about this cpu better than www.transmeta.com briefs? I just (for now ;)) wanna know how it works. Is it 1:1 with Intel cpus & which one? Does it or the code morphing soft support sse & does it have other instructions not present in x86 instruction list? What are the bottlenecks? How "smart" is the code morphing soft? Are there any parity rules like in Pentium? ... where can i find informations like that? ..and one (stupid?) at the end, just theoretically: the soft is in flash memory, so i can create my own instruction list & code the soft so it will be able to cross my instructions into Crusoe's internal world, right?
