The Inquirer reports, that Sun will buy Montalvo System. I don´t think that this will lead to Suns own x86 procs. At first Montalvo was founded by people from Transmeta, thus such a move would add some really bright talents to ours and they´ve worked (and patented this work) on asymmetrical multicore architectures. I assume, this will give us some nice additional capabilties for future multicore CPUs.

PS: I wonder, if anybody thought about asymmetrical cores in the way of having cores with different command sets in one processor ... for example an x86 and a SPARC CPU on one die ...
