Hi,

weiß jemand ob Transmeta morgen zum ersten mal an der Nasdaq und in Deutschland gehandelt wird ?
Ich habe da eine WKN:940050 für den deutschen Markt. Wird bei uns morgen überhaupt gehandelt ?

Danke

is das die empfehlung im chipbereich aus euro am sonntag ??? klang interessant.
ich glaube dass morgen handel ist bei uns . spätestens übermorgen dürfte das ding hier gehandelt werden....

[Take it Easy]

hallo leute,

dieser chip hört sich ja sehr interessant an!
aber, wenn ich richtig liege gibt es ein emmissionsvolumen
von 13 mio aktien (gesamte aktien 128 mio stück!!!)

wenn ichr ichtig rechnen kann sind das bei erstnotiz:
128 mio. mal 13 dollar = über 1,6 milliarden marktkapitalisierung!!!
umsatz 350.000 dollar im jahr

ist das nicht ein wenig hoch bewertet????

wie denkt ihr darüber

take it easy

Can Transmeta buck the IPO market?

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Transmeta was founded in 1995, and, for most of its history,
it was in stealth mode.

Then again, the company is in the semicondutor industry, which is hypercompetitive. The
element of surprise can be crucial.

Of course, the company is now planning to go public. The lead underwriter is Morgan Stanley
and the price range is $11 to $13 (the company intends to sell 13 million shares). The
proposed ticker symbol is "TMTA" (TMTA: news, msgs).

The company`s product is named after a fictional character, Crusoe (remember, he was stranded
on a desolate island?). Crusoe is a microchip built for new-age mobile Internet computers --
which are expected to flood the market over the next few years.

The Crusoe chip is a hybrid of software and hardware. Basically, the software components
(called Code Morphing) perform functions that have normally been performed by hardware-based
processors. This means that the chip has a large degree of flexibility, which is critical for
wireless devices.

Because of the software components, there are fewer transistors needed to perform certain
tasks. This means a reduction in power consumption and, as a result, extended battery life.

In fact, the company has developed another technology to further extend battery life: LongRun.
It analyzes application workload and adjusts continuously so as to optimize voltage and
performance.

Transmeta has been the culmination of the efforts of many high-tech achievers. David Ditzel,
the CEO and a co-founder, has been in advanced computing for over 25 years. In 1980, he wrote
a seminal paper on Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) technologies for semiconductor
designs (he has written over 30 technical papers). At Sun (SUNW: news, msgs), he was chief
technical officer and helped build the SPARC processors, as well as technologies for low-power
computing.

Doug Laird, the Transmeta vice president of product development, was at Sun, as well. He
helped build the UltraSPARC I processor.

But perhaps the most notable member of the Transmeta team is Linus Torvalds. Yep, he`s the guy
who invented Linux and revolutionized computing with open source development. At Transmeta, he
helped develop the Code Morphing software.

But keep in mind that the company is still in its early stages. The first product was not
launched until the beginning of 2000. And the semiconductor industry can be highly volatile,
especially lately. Look at the swings in National Semiconductor, AMD and Intel.


But Transmeta does apparently have an architecture that makes sense for the post desktop era.
By all accounts, this should be an IPO that can withstand the current brutal IPO market.
