it really really is incredibly challenging to pick qualifying SoCs.
I'm starting to figure that out ;)

due to the way the Crusoe works (it's not natively an x86 CPU but soft-emulates one) it's basically the lowest rung on the ladder, bar none.
i really liked the transmeta idea. much lower power (higher performance/watt ratio). pity they couldn't continue.
don't the latest loongson's have hard-emulation of the top 200 most common x86 instructions, meaning that they can emulate x86 code on a MIPS-based processor at 70% of the speed of an equivalent x86 processor?
