Skype, Intel Collaboration Bearing Fruit

Collaboration between VOIP leader Skype and chip-maker Intel has yielded its first fruit: a series of calling features specific to Intel’s Centrino Duo or desktop systems with dual-core Pentium D processors, Pentium Extreme Edition CPUs, or Intel’s new Viiv technology.

The first Skype enhancement will be 10-way IP-based conference calling using Skype 2.0, what Intel is calling an “industry first” in peer-to-peer calling, with video calling enhancement planned for later this year, and extending Skype services to Intel-based handheld systems via Wi-Fi and WiMax networks.

AMD Dual Core Processor Plans

Quote from the article:

AMD Demos World’s First x86 Dual-Core CPU

With a simple upgrade path to more efficient computing, based on AMD’s existing system infrastructure and industry-standard architecture, enterprise customers can expect more efficient processing power without the penalties of increased power consumption and heat dissipation. The dual-core AMD Opteron processor for servers and workstations is expected to offer the best performance per watt in the market when AMD plans to make it available in mid-2005.

“This industry milestone changes the dynamics of the computing business,” said Dirk Meyer, executive vice president, AMD Computation Products Group. “Once again, AMD is delivering a simplified approach to more efficient processing power, with products that will deliver multi-core 64-bit computing to our strong customer base.”

AMD Ships 90 Nanometer AMD64 Products

From AMD’s press release:

AMD announced today that it is achieving a smooth transition to 90 nanometer (nm) manufacturing and has shipped low-power 90nm Mobile AMD Athlon 64 processors for thin and light notebooks (previously codenamed “Oakville”) for revenue. Manufacturers are expected to launch systems based on the new 90nm Mobile AMD Athlon 64 processors in the coming months.

In addition to providing performance and power benefits to AMD64 products today, the transition keeps AMD on track with its plans to deliver 90nm dual-core products mid-next year and also provides operational benefits such as increased production capacities.
