VoIP: Intel Partners with Skype
Pat got to introduce all of the cool things today as he announced their new partnership with Skype to improve performance on the latest Intel processors.
One major goal of Intel's with VoIP, isn't to just improve performance, but also to improve overall audio quality. Pat looked at VoIP as an opportunity to improve the quality of telephone conversations by a huge magnitude over the old Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).
The reason for the improvement in quality is the move to a wider frequency band of audio thanks to VoIP rather than the very limited band that the PSTN operates over.

I guess you can get a bit confused regarding the code names.Sossaman, is based on Pentium M technology and is targeted at Xeon DP LV sector.
Tulsa, is based on Intel Next Gen Architecture technology, and is targeted and the Xeon MP environment.
Both these processors are Dual Core. And both will have Shared Cache technology.
