Intel turns to Napster-type service for business computing tool

Article Abstract:

Intel Corp. executives are considering how 'peer to peer' computing might fit into their business plan. P-to-P computing, like software used by Napster, allows PCs connected to a network or the Internet, to share processing and hard drive resources. Since many computer processing cycles are unused, while the machine 'waits' for human input, for example, Intel and others see potential for increased efficiency, by linking this unused capacity together and making it available for projects requiring large amounts of processing power. Some critics say this notion runs counter to today's server based networks. Meanwhile, P-to-P computing proponents see it as a seminal technology, comparing it to early Web browsing software in its potential to change computing.

Sun unveils fast new chip, challenging Intel

Article Abstract:

Sun Microsystems Inc. has announced their plans for a new graphics chip that will be able to process video, voice and graphics data. This is Sun's first foray into the semiconductor arena and will pose a great challenge to rival chip-maker Intel Corp. The product will be called MAJC (and pronounced 'magic') for Microprocessor Architecture for Java Computing and if it performs as promised, will allow users to work on graphic and video interfaces much faster than and easier than ever before.
