Victor "InterLink XP"

In the early 2000s, when x86 processors weren't as mobile-optimized as they are now, mobile and performance were completely conflicting factors. Attempts to withstand the mainstream have come at the expense of weight and battery life, and vice versa.

In 2000, Transmeta introduced the mobile-optimized x86 compatible CPU "Crusoe" to the market. Until around 2003, a large number of installed models were released by domestic manufacturers, and in the domestic mini-note market where there is a strong need, Crusoe holds the unprecedented share of x86 compatible processors as a third party, and mini-notes smaller than B5 size are predominant. It is no exaggeration to say that it was done. The first "Libretto L2" and the second "Bio U" in this series were all equipped with Crusoe.

But as you know, Crusoe's performance was not good. As mentioned earlier, performance and mobile elements are in conflict, but Crusoe was a processor that exposed the problem prominently. This must have bothered the mobiles of the time.
