Yeah, it's made by Transmeta.

It's meant to be compatible with x86 but only use a fraction of the power.

You can get more details at http://www.transmeta.com

Coincidentaly [i don't know if anyone who cares doesn't already know], Linus Torvalds, the inventor of Linux, works for Transmeta. Maybe working on the Crusoe chip is what is stalling the release of the 2.4 kernel...?
