”The added power and performance of the new Intel processors greatly enhances the richness of the video and the overall performance that SightSpeed delivers to Mac users,” said Aron Rosenberg, chief technology officer of SightSpeed. “By writing this version specifically for the new Intel processors, we have been able to optimize SightSpeed and reduce its demand on resources. All this makes for the best communications experience that users have come to expect from us.”
