Intel on Peer-to-Peer

9

As reported a while ago, Intel was interested in starting a Napster-like service for consumers and companies. Well, now the Intel execs are talking about it and they really are going forward with their peer-to-peer service, which is more focused on the combined processor power part than any file sharing that goes on. Mainly because everyone is providing their own computer power a lot of money can be saved, Intel is even saying it has saved them half a billion dollars during the past decade by using several older computers they had to run simulations. Intel is "neutral" when it comes to Napster, but of course the RIAA will be watching any development with any Intel sharing service very closely.
