Vinve, Re: <P.S. I noted in an AMD interview that the exact prefetch opcodes used in SSE are supported in 3DNow!, so Haim Barad's speculation that any such optimizations done for Intel should also work for Athlon chips is probably correct. >

According to the posts on JC msg board, you're right. Apparently, Athlon has two prefetch instructions - one is '3D Now' centric, and the other is same as 'SSE' with the exact same opcode.
