Crusoe Processor
As I said, it’s a significant development, but it’s not revolutionary as the rumoured “CPU that could emulate Intel chips faster than Intel’s own chips.” Crusoe sports a longer battery life thus making it more portable as Transmeta is so fond of pointing out. Note that their 700MHz chip is only as fast as a 500MHz Intel P3. However, mobility isn’t so much the issue – there’s the issue of being connected and able to do things while mobile. Every business these days is connected to the Net, and a great deal is done over it. A laptop that has a convenient, reliable and cheap wireless connection to the net would of be of more impact than a laptop that has batteries which last twice as long, IMHO.
