Asynchronous types are rated at 15ns. Faster is always more expensive. Initial desktop benchmarks show a five to seven percent performance improvement with EDO memory. Once the economies of mass production come into play, EDO memory will become competitively priced. The latest Pentium technology opens new avenues of productivity.
More processing power means less waiting on the machine.
With older machines, a full motion video might have to run in a small window at fifteen frames per second. With the new Pentium, it can run full screen at thirty frames per second. Intense applications requiring hours to compute on older gear will now finish much faster. Win96 and other 32-bit operating systems will benefit from the Pentium architecture. The new Windows offering, with five to six times more lines of code than Windows 3.1, can really use the extra power.
