`
`it seems as if a monitor, is a monitor. is a monitor. Soto set the record
`
`straight, we proudly unveil a different kind of monitor. Introducing GRomBLEAH" from NEG.
`
`A patented. new CRT technology that is specifically designed to maximize sharpness.
`
`contrast and dimension. The result of this revolutionary technology? Graphics will be more
`
`detailed. smaller type will be easier to read. even video will have unparalleled definition.
`
`As the leader in monitor technology. we can simply say Gsouscune BRT offers unprecedented
`
`sharpness and image clarity. Something you can easily see if not feel.

`
`From the Editor-in-Chief
`
`
`
`New Chips on the Block
`
`
`
`Picking a processor was once easy. Ifyou this issue, Bill Howard gives
`you his opinions of the vari-
`were a power user or someone who liked ous chips (page 95). Then, our
`cover story offers reviews of
`the best, you bought the CPU VVlth the the first 15 Pentium 11 53,5,
`terns (page 100). Here are my
`recommendations.
`
`highest or second-highest MHZ rating.
`
`Otherwise, you bought slower-speed
`
`CPUs or those from the previous generations.
`
`Those days are gone.
`
`New CPUs from Intel, AMD, and Cyrix give you
`more choices than ever.
`
`Intel still offers the original Pentium processor—
`often called the classic Pentium—though it tops Out
`at 200 MHz. Intel also offers the new Pentium
`
`Processor with MMX Technology, now up to 200
`MHz, with faster versions coming soon.
`The Pentium Pro also tops out at 200
`MHZ but remains a viable chip in multi-
`processor workstations and servers. For
`its new Pentium [1, Intel took the basic
`Pentium Pro architecture, raised the
`
`Paulium l|.I"233
`
`If you’re looking for an in
`expensive desktop, one based
`on the original Pentium pro-
`cessor can be a good deal. It
`will do an acceptable job with
`today’s applications, though
`it won’t be ideal for all the new applications I expect
`to see in the next 12 to 18 months—particularly en-
`tertainment and graphical titles. If you can afford a
`bit more, K6 systems should offer the best pricelper-
`formance ratio, but you’ll find greater variety in sys~
`terns that have Pentium processors with MMX- Ei-
`ther choice will give you the ability to run
`Engine” mums MMX-enabled applications when they
`Benchmark test scores
`appear, but I‘d make sure to get 32MB of
`Penii [Ill] “.9255
`RAM. Also, if you’re buying for the
`home, be prepared to spring for a DVD
`upgrade when prices come down and
`more titles become available. For real

`AMI) K6523
`
`
`
`clock speed, added MMX instructions,
`and fixed many of the problems it had
`With running Windows 95 applications.
`Today, it’s available at 233- and 266—Mflz
`speeds, with 300 MHz and even faster
`versions on the horizon.

`
`The good neWs is that Intel isn’t alone.
`AMD recently shipped its K6 processor,
`which performs close to the Pentium II but
`is less expensive. Cyrix introduced its inexpensive
`MediaGX chip and is feverishly working on the M2, a
`Pentium II competitor.
`The chart accompanying this column shows just
`how fast the new CPUs are, according to our Business
`Wmstone benchmark tests. I don’t recall any time when
`we had so many compatible processors. The competi-
`tion among CPU vendors will help create less expenm
`sive, more capable computers for all of us, which is
`great news.
`But what should a consumer buy? The first thing
`to do is to understand the new processors. Later in
`
`Pelliillill MFUIXIEIJU 4:}
`
`PauliumFrui'Zflfl
`
`as
`
`power users, the top end is Pentium 11
`chips, and I expect them to be more ag-
`gressively priced than many beiieve.

`
`Pro processors. For scalability, the Pen-
`tium Pro still is the chip to beat, because
`of its larger on-board cache and its abili-
`ty to work in four-processor configurations. For
`notebooks, I may stick with the classic Pentium for a
`while because I value battery life, and most of the
`things I do on the road don’t seem to take advantage
`of MMX. But for a presentation machine, MMX
`gives you a better kick.
`More processor choices may be confusing, but more
`competition means we’re all going to win.

`Web Accessibility Initiative——
`announced in April by the
`World Wide Web Consortium—
`
`outlines new guidelines and
`technologies that will soon make
`the Web. more accessible.
`
`Programs exist today that can
`
`enlarge or alter information on-
`screen so it’s more readable.
`Other tools convert Web pages
`into speech, printtext in Braille,
`and even let people “type” by
`using a pointing device or track-
`ball or by speaking. The initiative
`calls for expanding the selection
`of tools, as well as educating site
`developers as to how they can
`create accessible pages.

`
`
`“Cheese of Staff”
`reakthroughs in speech recognition technology are few and for
`between. So-called discrete recognition engines require you to pause
`between each word, while continuous-speech approaches let you speak
`more naturally but recognize only a limited vocabulary.
`Dragon Systems has combined the best of both
`
`approaches with its Dragon NaturallySpeaking.
`
`an application that marries confinuoususpeech
`
`recognition to a BMW-word general vocab-
`
`ulary. The developers recently demon-
`
`strated NannallySpeak-ing by reading
`
`stories from the front page of The New
`
`York Tones. Aside from a few humor-
`
`ous blunders (the program translated
`
`“chiefs of staff” as "cheese of staff"),
`
`it yielded impressive results.
