At least, in theory. It is a nice experiment to test relative data between the GDI-700 CD-i player (or the DVC version) and a Philips CD-i player. The reason behind it is as following:
"The GDI-700 used a Motorola 68341 processor which has a quadruple-buffered serial input port. In contrast, the SCC 68070 processor used by all Philips plauers has only a doubly-buffered serial input port. The hardware difference means that processor load on Philips players can be up to triple that for the LG, depending on programming.
The 68341 on-chip devices are generally somewhat more complex than the corresponding ones for the 68070, but this could be simply due to technology advances (I believe the 68070 processor predates the 68341 and even CD-i by several years). I have no data on the relative speed, but I would guess the LG player to be at least a little faster as the 68070 was the "reference" design and it is almost never a good idea to go slower than this :-)"
