Holding Your Breath Until it is All Over

Five months ago I mentioned that David Ditzel, cofounder of Transmeta and chip engineer extraordinaire, was looking to invest/develop in a new chip design.

This past week it looks like he’s settled down with a little company called Intel.

If it weren’t for a looming recession, I might be a bit more bullish on the cool gadgets he’ll be able to bring to market.

As a side note, you might be interested in the debate between rasterization and ray tracing that pits Intel against discrete GPU makers like Nvidia. For instance, see the latest shot by the chief scientist at Nvidia over at PC Perspective.
