Transmeta downplayed the fallout of IBM's decision and said it remains confident in its growing list of customers.Santa Clara, Calif.-based Transmeta unveiled its Crusoe chip in January after five years of highly secretive development. The chip's "code-morphing" technology is supposed to consume less power and give off less heat and thus extend the battery life for laptop computers.Transmeta has been positioning itself to cut into the market share of Intel Corp.IBM was among several laptop manufacturers at the PC Expo in June to show off a prototype using the Crusoe chip. Sony Corp., Fujitsu Ltd., and NEC Corp have each begun using Crusoe chips in the latest models of their ultralight laptops."IBM was the biggest feather in Transmeta's cap," Kleynhans said. "To make up the volume it would have had with IBM, it would need two or three other computer makers, and they still wouldn't have the prestige of IBM."
