" Here's a company that wants the FASTEST Intel CPUs that Intel can make !biz.yahoo.com Monday July 9, 2:06 pm Eastern Time Press ReleaseBioComp Systems Embraces Intel 2 GHz Processors REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 9, 2001--BioComp Systems welcomes Intel's 2 GHz processors, and more. While some analysts question the need for such fast chips, BioComp says, ``Bring it on!'' BioComp's business and process analytic Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies are compute-intensive, consuming massive quantities of CPU cycles. These processes help companies analyze, model, predict and optimize business, manufacturing, financial and medical processes, achieving huge financial gains and important personal and societal benefits. ``Our customers need as many CPU cycles as the chip makers can deliver,'' says Carl Cook, president of BioComp Systems. ``These are not just in niche applications, but reach a broad market from optimizing the production of the largest global corporations to helping retirees' with their finances at home.'' Cook adds, ``Our business plan, and the future of Artificial Intelligence for that matter, has Moore's Law built in.'' Moore's Law states that processor power will double every 18 months. To get around current CPU limitations, BioComp has already enabled their software to use distributed multi-processing, giving it the ability to employ many computers simultaneously to crack the problems many businesses and individuals face. The many thousands of BioComp licensees look forward to further enhancements in CPU processing power from Intel and the other chip manufacturers, not only for their current applications, but also for the future capabilities it enables. With customers in over 40 countries, BioComp Systems is fast growing global provider of intelligent systems that enhance business performance in manufacturing, marketing and finance. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contact: BioComp Systems, Inc.
