`
`If you held off buying a computer this holiday season to wait for MMX, your wait is over.
`
`Intel Corp. yesterday introduced its i computer chip, an improved version of its popular Pentium microprocessor
`
`designed to handle video. audio and games more smoothly. It is supposed to hold down costs of entry-level computers by
`eliminating the need for extra graphics cards and specialty chips, enhance videoconferencing. and boost computer
`performance anywhere from 10 percent to 400 percent.
`
`The computer industry hopes the MMX will give a lift to PC sales, which were disappointing over the holidays.
`
`Intel anticipates the new chips will be available in PCs retailing for $1.500 to $20001 will be offered in processing
`speeds of 200 megahertz and [66 megahertz for desktop computers, and 166 megahertz and [50 megahertz for mobile
`computers. The world's leading chip-maker plans to add i capabilities to its entire Pentium line within two years.
`Analysts predict the Santa Clara, Calif, company will ship between 30 million and 45 million i chips - about half its
`total sales — this year alone. IBM, Packard Bell. Olivetti, Zenith, Dell Computer and Gateway 2000 are among computer
`makers to adopt the new technology.
`
`"This is the biggest change we’ve made since before the 386," said Mike Ayrnar, vice president of Intel's desktop computer
`group. He referred to a microprocessor unveiled 12 years ago that first enabled users to run more than one program at a
`time.
`
`Aymar said that overall. MMX operates 60 percent faster than standard Pentiums and will run some programs two to four
`times faster. But there's a catch: To get the full benefits, you must run software specifically written for MMX. And right
`now. analysts say, there isn’t much available. especially for business applications.
`
`"This isn't something that breaks the mold. Most L‘0l1SUl'l161‘.“- are pretty much confused anyway, and this doesn't help. This
`is another confusing piece of complexity in an industry that they’re supposed to be trying to make simpler,” said Tom
`Rhinelander of Forrester Research.
`
`He said most users won’t notice a major performance improvement from MMX. And many of the hot new 3-D games still
`will run better with 3-D graphics cards that are being included with some computers, Rhinelander asserted.
`
`But MMX shines for image processing tasks, such as scanning digitized family photos, said Nathan Brookwood, an analyst
`for Dataquest. ”This is wonderful. You can do things in seconds that used to take minutes." he said.
`
`1 stood for "multimedia extension” when it was announced last spring, but the acronym doesn't stand for anything
`now, Brookwood said. He explained that the J chip can perform up to eight multimedia functions at once, where
`standard Pentium chips can only do one. This is accomplished without substantially increasing the chip size or components.
`”It's using the stuff that's already there in a smarter way," the analyst said. Brookwood does not expect 1 to spark a
`huge surge of PC sales, however.
`
`Wall Street apparently wasn’t wowed. Intel stock was down $l.l25 yesterday to $l42.25 per share in NASDAQ trading.

`
`NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--MMX Chip Ahoy!
`
`The technology market is chock-full of new products to greet Intel Corp.’s (INTC) new 1 - the multimedia extensions
`chip that will
`improve PC graphics, video and audio performances. Intel's new chip will be offered for I66- and
`200-megahertz Pentium desktops and 150- and I66-megahertz mobile computers. Industry sources expect Intel to come
`out with processors for those with Pentiums who wish to upgrade with an 1 in the coming months.
`
`Among the many companies to release new products using the MMX chip are Compaq Computer Corp. (CPQ). Dell
`Computer Corp. (DELL), Hewlett—Packard Co. (HWP}, Fujitsu Ltd., Toshiba America, Yamaha Corp., the NEC computer
`systems division of Packard Bell. Micron Electronics Inc. (MUEIJ and Motorola Inc. (MOT).
`
`Investors, meanwhile, are hoping the new chip provides a kick for sales of personal computers.
`
`Dean Witter Reynolds Inc. analyst Eugene Glazer believes there were "significant deferrals" of PC purchases in the fourth
`quarter and that they will probably materialize during the current quarter.
`
`But he and others also note that the real impact of the chip in terms of performance will be felt later in the year, as more
`software is created to take advantage of the chip’s features.
`
`With the MMX, Intel added 57 new instructions to its Pentium system to increase the speed in multimedia and
`communication applications. MMX is expected to add about 20% speed to nonmultimedia. and significantly more to
`multimedia features.
`
`Compaq said the MMX will provide 75% enhancement for its new line of Presarios featuring the chip compared to previous
`
`models with it. The company was able to achieve the improvement since it redesigned its machines to take advantage of
`the MMX’s capabilities, said Rod Schrock. vice president of the Presario division.
`
`So how does the release of the MMX chip rate in the annals of tecitrzalogy history?
`
`”I don‘t think it's a major, major deal.“ said Datapro Information Services Group senior analyst Peter Lober. He added.
`however, that it is a "nice enhancement“ and helpful.
`
`Other experts also stressed that the release doesn’t have nearly the importance of the introduction of such products as
`Microsoft Corpfs (MSFT) Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0 operating system, or even Intel’s Pentium chip or other earlier
`microprocessors.

`
`But one advantage to the MMX release is that since it is an addition to a product already in the marketplace instead of the
`next generation, the incorporation of the chip will be rapid. In comparison, a product such as the Pentium chip took some
`time to become the standard chip after the 486 microprocessor, analysts said.
