Transmeta has 615 guys
The Register is
claiming that Transmeta
hired quite a few of the original 615 engineers. The 615 was
to be an x86 killer by IBM: a PowerPC including x86 compatibility
logic. However, the project alledgedly died due to too much complexity,
and too much die area (cost). In the current CPU market there
are two alternatives: cheap (small die area, low power consumption)
or very high performance (few applications need more CPU power).
Let's hope that if the 615 team is in Transmeta, they do not repeat
past mistakes.
