V-Dragon, Transmeta, 68K
« on: February 29, 2004, 03:58:17 PM »
Hi
Culturecom had released low cost V-Dragon CPU designed by Transmeta and manufactured by IBM.
The core is 32 Bit RISC, 16 Kb cache, with intergrated Chinese language processor.
Is it possible to design similar chips with support for 68K/CF instruction set?

V-Dragon

Transmeta official reply on PowerPC Instruction set: Impossible!
(aka secret non competitor agreement)

Sorry. No. But the CPU is 32 bit RISC, 16 KB Data cache,
16 KB Instruction cache, USB, sold at US$ 15/unit.
The performance is comparable to Pentium 400 MHz.
This CPU is a succesful product and receive support from
both IBM and HP (Hewlett Packard). HP put a giant advertisement
campaign about this CPU in China, HK, Taiwan, Singapore etc.

>Right to 68K Microcode.
Do Transmeta got X86 Microcode from IBM or Intel?
Is it against the law to create 68K emulation?
