So glad someone else also knew about this connection :) Details about Denver are pretty minimal, but this talk at Stanford is one of the most detailed I’ve been able to find for those interested. It’s fascinating stuff with lots of similarities to how Transmeta operated: https://youtu.be/oEuXA0_9feM?si=WXuBDzCXMM4_5YhA
There was a Hot Chips presentation by them that also gave some good details. Unlike the original Transmeta design they first ran code natively and only recompiled the hot spots.
