Unleashing 10-User Conferencing in Skype 2.0 for Windows

http://maxxuss.com/home/skype.html

Recently, Skype and Intel have announced a deal that would limit Skype's
functionality on all but specific Intel processors. Currently, Skype 2.0
offers 10-way conference calls only on Intel's latest dual-core CPUs, while
other chips, including all AMD chips, will only allow for 5-way conference
calls. It is argued that only those Intel dual-core CPUs meet the
requirements - which would imply that no AMD CPU is fast enough.

Now, what are these requirements? Is there some kind of micro-benchmark built
into Skype which measures the processing speed? Or does Skype look for a
specific hidden CPU feature? As the details on the patch reveal, the code
logic behind the limitation is quite simple:

If it's a CPU with ""GenuineIntel"" branding and has at least two cores, then
allow 10 users; else limit to 5 users.
