Core Duo and Pentium D owners can now enjoy conferencing with up to 10 people
This is even more reason to buy an Intel Core Duo or Pentium D processor, right? Intel claims that versions of Skype 2.0 and higher will be able to support conference calls with up to 10 people only if you are using an Intel dual-core processor.
This feature takes advantage of multi-tasking capabilities using
Intel's revolutionary new dual-core technology. Without impacting
performance, you can make calls while simultaneously running programs
such as email, word processing, multimedia applications, virus scan and
more.
EETimes reports that even more Intel-specific optimizations are on the way:
The two companies are planning additional feature extensions and
optimization of Skype for Intel’s dual-core processors, Skype said.
Later this year, Skype will release video calling optimized for Intel
dual-core technology, the company added.
So should AMD dual-core owners feel
left out? Probably not. It's doubtful that many would be using Skype to conference
with 10 anyway. And even if you
would pursue the feature, I'm sure that there will be some hack/crack
to enable the feature in the near future...
