Transmeta™ Efficeon™ TM8800 Processor

Transmeta Efficeon TM8800 ProcessorRevision 2.0.1Transmeta Efficeon TM8800 processor delivers high-performance for low power mobile, blade server and embeddeddesigns. Built upon Fujitsu’s next-generation 90nm silicon technology, it features transistors with an industry-leadinglength of 40nm, yielding even higher megahertz speeds and performance with lower power requirements for cooler,fanless operation.To maximize performance and responsiveness, the Efficeon TM8800processor features a 256-bit wide VLIW engine that can issue up to 8instructions per clock cycle, a large 1 MB L2 cache, and support for MMX,SSE, and instructions for a powerful multimedia experience. The Efficeonprocessor combines the processor and Northbridge functionality into asingle integrated circuit, creating a single package that reduces boardspace by eliminating the need for a dedicated Northbridge chip. Integratedfunctionality includes a high-performance DDR memory interface, a 1.6 GB/sHyperTransport I/O interconnect, and an AGP 4X graphics interface.Transmeta EfficeonTM8800 ProcessorSpecificationsAntiVirusNX TechnologyProcessor SpeedOn-die L1 Instruction CacheOn-die L1 Data CacheOn-die L2 Write-Back CacheHyperTransport System Bus SpeedUp to 1.6 GHz128 KB64 KB1 MB400MHzIn response to the escalating threat ofcomputer virus attacks, Transmeta hasintroduced a new feature in Efficeonprocessors - called AntiVirusNX - that candetect common viruses and render themharmless for Transmeta Efficeonprocessor-based computers.Aggregate HyperTransport Link Bandwidth1.6 GB/sMMX, SSE and SSE2 Instruction SupportYesFully Integrated Northbridge FunctionalityYesTransmeta Efficeon TM8800 ProcessorSupport for DDR-266, 333 memorySupport for ECC memoryIntegrated AGP 4X graphics interfaceIntegrated Low Pin Count Bus (LPC)Full x86 Software and OS CompatibilityEnhanced LongRun Thermal ManagementEnhanced LongRun Power ManagementAntiVirusNX TechnologyProcess GeometryPackage SizeJunction Temperature (Tj)Package TypeYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYesFujitsu 90nm29mm x 29mmUp to 100° C783-pin OBGA with1mm ball pitchSome of the most devastating attacks,including numerous worms, as well asmany other malicious programs, attackcomputers by attempting to insert andexecute code from data regions of systemmemory. The Data Execution Protection(DEP) feature in Windows XP ServicePack 2 leverages the Efficeon processor'sAntiVirusNX technology to stop thismalicious code immediately if it attemptsto execute and thereby infect thecomputer. This combination offerssignificant improvements against softwareworms and viruses, providing enhancedsecurity and safer computing. AntiVirusNXrepresents a significant deterrent to theever increasing threat of computer virusesincluding the Sasser, Blaster, Bugbear,Code Red, Klez and Welchia worms.

A large 1 MB L2 cache and support for SSE & SSE2instructions help make for a compelling multimedia experience.Transmeta Code Morphing SoftwareTransmeta’s proprietary Code Morphing Software (CMS) runs at theheart of the Efficeon processor, dynamically optimizing and translatingx86 instructions into VLIW native code. This unique combination ofhardware and software allows the processor to be more efficient,adding intelligence to the Efficeon proessor to manage powerconsumption and heat dissipation not found in other x86microprocessors.With the new Code Morphing Software for the Efficeon processor,Transmeta extends its leadership in power management, offering asolution that provides high performance while consuming lesspower for the same work.HIGHLY INTEGRATED ARCHITECTUREFully Integrated Northbridge Core Logic••ENERGY EFFICIENT DESIGNEnhanced LongRun Dynamic Power Management• Enables longer battery life by dynamically adjusting operatingfrequency and voltage to match the performance requirements ofapplication workloads• Provides higher performance within smaller, thermally constrainedenvironments••On-chip DDR-266/333 memory interfaceIntegrated AGP 2.0 compliant graphics interface for industry standard,high performance graphics solutions at 1X, 2X & 4X data rates• On-chip 400 MHz HyperTransport interface, 8-bits wide in eachdirection, provides 12x the I/O throughput (1.6 GB/sec aggregatebandwidth) compared to 32-bit, 33 MHz PCI• Full support for ECC in L2 cache and northbridge memory controllerenables expansion into the server marketEnables Small Form Factor Designs• Northbridge integration reduces system chip count, power consumptionand PCB sizeEnhanced LongRun Thermal ManagementMaximizes performance within a thermal envelopeLow thermal characteristics enable fanless designs for quieter andmore reliable systemsVLIW CPUCode Morphing SoftwarePC, Internet ApplicationsOperating SystemsTransmeta Enhanced LongRun Power ManagementLongRun power management technology provides Code Morphingsoftware with the ability to adjust the Efficeon processor coreoperating voltage and clock frequency dynamically, depending onthe demands placed on the processor by software. Becausepower varies linearly with clock speed and by the square ofvoltage, adjusting both processor voltage and clock frequency canproduce cubic reductions in power consumption. Conventionalprocessors can adjust power linearly, by adjusting the effectiveoperating frequency.LongRun power management policies are implemented withinCode Morphing software, and can detect different workloadscenarios based on runtime performance information, and thenexploit these by adapting processor power usage accordingly. Thisensures the processor delivers high performance when necessaryand conserves power when demand on the processor is low.UNITED STATES & EUROPETransmeta CorporationWorld Headquarters3990 Freedom CircleSanta Clara, CA 95054 USATel: (408) 919-3000For US Sales Inquiry: sales@transmeta.comFor Europe Sales Inquiry: sales-eur@transmeta.comwww.transmeta.comJAPANTransmeta JapanKDDI Bldg Annex 3F2-3-3 Nishi-ShinjukuShinjuku-ku Tokyo 160-0023JapanTel: +81-3-5325-9580sales-jp@transmeta.comwww.crusoe.jpTAIWANTransmeta Taiwan7F-1, No.167,Fu-Hsing North RoadTaipei, TaiwanR.O.C. 105Tel: +886-2-2718-0999sales-tw@transmeta.comwww.transmeta.com.twCHINATransmeta ShanghaiRoom 1202,Lansheng Building,No.8, Huai Hai Zhong RoadShanghai, P.R.C.Tel: +86-21-63191576sales-sh@transmeta.comwww.transmeta.com.cnKOREATransmeta Korea602-603 Imae-Dong,BunDang-Gu,SeungNam City, Kyunggi-Do,463-905 KoreaTel: +82-19-321-1042sales-kr@transmeta.com©2004 Transmeta Corporation.
