Ahead of its time in architecture as well as concept, Nuon featured four fully-programmable, very long instruction word (VLIW) processor cores...
Reminds me quite a bit of Transmeta. I looked forward to them releasing chips. Once they did, they quickly burned out. Loved the code-morphing concept of the VLIW Core and all of the capabilities that brought (native byte code execution of different instruction sets). Alas, they went under.
