Transmeta said that the new chips would be used to power devices that pack a lot of computing power into a small space, such as including thin clients, blade servers, printers, copiers, point-of. Transmeta is being really secretive thus the information in the patents is what transmeta wants us to 'know'. To take it one step further, transmeta could be working on anything, and the patents could be an attempt to mislead those who copy or stop them, or the patents could be on an auxiliary technology (ie. Supporting chipset).
Better things come in smaller packages, as Transmeta Corp. unveiled two new Crusoe chips that are available in packages half the size of their forefathers.

The chips are part of Transmeta’s aging Crusoe family, not the Efficeon family the chipmaker announced last year. However, Transmeta looked toward the future by eliminating the SDRAM interface from the newly-announced TM5700 and TM5900, contributing to a package size of 21 mm by 21 mm, about 50 percent less than older Crusoes.
Transmeta said that the new chips would be used to power devices that pack a lot of computing power into a small space, such as including thin clients, blade servers, printers, copiers, point-of-sale terminals, smart displays, portable consumer devices, ultraportable PCs and set-top boxes. The TM5900 is shipping at clock speeds of between 800-MHz and 1-GHz, while the TM5700 is available at 667-MHz only.
The TM5700 and TM5900 contain different level-2 cache sizes, 256-Kbytes for the TM5700 and 512 Kbytes for the TM5900. To reduce the package size further, the chipmaker reduced the package from a 1.2-mm ball pitch to a 1.0-mm pitch, said John Heinlein, director of system marketing, in a statement provided through a company representative

Otherwise, the chips retain all of the characteristics of the Crusoe line, including the integrated north bridge and the 4-instructions per clock capability. A small form factor mini-ITX motherboard evaluation/reference platform based upon the TM5900 processor will be available in the first quarter of 2004, the company said, including schematics, design guides, processor specifications, device drivers and other requirements for evaluation and initiating product designs.
