Anyone....Are the faster intel chips with the enhanced video/audio instruction sets better or worse for FNTN's business...ie: is Intel catching up to Siemens technology used by FNTN or do the new instruction sets enhance the further use of the FNTN video business for the customers. I don't understand if the Siemens equipment at the client office is a server or a PC. Thoughts....? One of the many Lens (look at the last sentence) Yahoo! News Technology Headlines Monday May 17 10:38 AM ET Intel Releases Faster Pentium III Chip SANTA CLARA, Calif. (Reuters) - No. 1 chip maker Intel Corp. (Nasdaq:INTC - news) Monday launched a faster Pentium III processor that allows personal computers and larger server machines to handle more easily functions like Web audio-video. The latest Pentium III processor -- the brains in high-end PCs -- runs at a speed of 550 megahertz, up from the 500 megahertz Pentium III chip Intel launched in mid March. PC makers ranging from Compaq Computer Corp. (NYSE:CPQ - news) to Toshiba Corp. and Intergraph Corp. (Nasdaq:INGR - news) said they were using the 550 mhz Pentium III chips in a range of consumer and business computers. An advantage of the faster processor is its ability to handle more easily the three-dimensional graphics, video and audio being piped into computers over high-speed Internet connections. The 550 Mhz chip also contains new instructions to handle Internet audio-video broadcasts and speech recognition systems, Intel said in a statement.
