Transmeta cpu



As some of you may know there exists an instruction in
most Pentium class cpus that returns a character
string   which identifies the maker of the chip.  For
example an Intel cpu returns "Genuine Intel", Amd
cpu's return "Authentic AMD".  Cyrix cpu's return
"Cyrix Instead".  Note that the string is always 13
characters long.  So what ID string will the Transmeta
return?  If they havn't figured this out yet might I
suggest the following: "Penguin Power" after Linus? 
(Note, also 13 characters).
