This would require a third CPU_VENDOR in the x86 family. Check PR #238 for more details.

There are quite a few interesting (but minor) x86 vendors.

I would also appreciate more x86 vendors. Centaur (CentaurHauls) under IDT, VIA. and Zhaoxin brands, comes to mind first, as these are the most modern.

For 32 bit chips of the Pentium era, there's also Cyrix (CyrixInstead), Rise (RiseRiseRise), and UMC (UMC UMC UMC ) has a 486 chip with cpuinfo support.

While it would be a fun exercise to add them all, I would at least like to see Centaur and Transmeta (since that seems to work).

I do have hardware for these vendors I mentioned, as well.

Sorry for the delay and thank you for your contribution! I have reopened the PR and left a quick review which should be a good starting point. I'm more than happy to accept it if we end up with a clean, working implementation for Transmeta 👍

I obviously do not have that hardware to add support for it, but if you have, I would be open to review a PR to add support for Centaur.
