Will this new chip thingy help me play PONG any faster on my computer? Do I need a new floppy disk to load chip instructions?

Thats an interesting question about Pong. The _original_ pong (coin operated) that was produced and actually started all the rage, was a hardware implementation. No software. There is someone who has written a digital circuit simulator that runs Pong, but its super slow, about 1fps on the fastest PC’s available today.
