Montalvo Systems was a Silicon Valley start-up reportedly working on an asymmetrical, x86 capable processor similar to the Cell microprocessor. The processor was to use high-performance cores for performance-intensive threads, and delegate minor tasks to the simpler cores to save silicon and power. Matt Perry, former Transmeta CEO, served as CEO and president of Montalvo; Peter Song, founder of failed x86 manufacturer , served as chief architect. Greg Favor (former NexGen/AMD) was responsible for chip microarchitecture and Carlos Puchol (former architect for power management at Transmeta and Nvidia) was system and power architect. Another founding member, Kevin Lawton, of bochs (x86 emulation) and (x86 virtualization) fame, was the processor simulator architect.

Another founding member, Kevin Lawton, of bochs (x86 emulation) and (x86 virtualization) fame, was the processor simulator architect. The official description of business from Montalvo's security filings was: A fabless semiconductor company developing ultra low-power system-on-chips for mobile devices. As of 24 April 2008, Sun Microsystems had acquired the company's assets for an undisclosed sum. (en)
