Petz - Re: "Introduction of 8 new 128 bit = 4 x 32 bit wide single precision packed CPU registers, enabling the computation of 4 single precision FP variables at the same time."

Don't you think there is a mode for executing 2 Double Precision operations (2 x 64) at the same time?

Maybe Tom didn't get it right, just as you noted he "boo-booed" on

" Tom is in error when he states that AMD's implementation is only capable of 2 single precision floating point ops per clock cycle"

You only believe this character when his output fits your desired input.
