[The Register] Transmeta commences Crusoe TM5600 shipments

Transmeta yesterday launched its latest Crusoe CPU, the TM5600, and confirmed the chip has already started shipping.

The 5600 follows on from Transmeta's earlier 5400, a high-speed - 700MHz - chip aimed at the notebook market, thanks to its very low power consumption. The 5600 adds an extra 256KB of on-chip L1 (128KB) and L2 (512KB) cache to the 5400's 384KB. It also supports both DDR memory and standard SDRAM.
