The chip giant is preparing a new family of processors code-named Hermon, which will support faster 3G networks and let phone users participate in videoconferences. The preview was offered in a keynote address by Paul Otellini, Intel president and CEO, at the 3GSM World Congress in Cannes, France.<br /><br />The Hermon line builds on Intel's integrated processors for Global System for Mobile Communications/General Packet Radio Service (GSM/GPRS) and Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE) networks. Hermon processors will support faster Universal Mobile Telecommunications System/Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (UMTS/WCDMA) 3G networks, Otellini said."
