Denver was a real tragedy. The original point was to be a processor that could run both x86 and ARM code, but Intel managed to win a lawsuit that terminated the x86 license nVidia acquired. That took the wind out of their sales and they never productized Tegra going forward.

Somehow, “sales” still works in that analogy and it’s kind of great.

Set sail for home! They’re having a 20% off sale!

Was it more commercially successful that Transmeta Crusoe, which was, AFAICT, the pioneering attempt in this area?

Many of the Crusoe people moved over from Transmeta to Stexar which was acquired by NVIDIA.

Not really; Nvidia keeps switching back to Cortex cores.

Project Denver held so much promise at Nvidia as a vehicle for CPU sales into the PC market. What is a modern day project denver inside other companies?

Why is this suddenly discussion-worthy? Poster didn't even bother with a submission statement for such a vague link to a wikipedia page?
