hmaly,

Do you realize that Intel can write some special compiler taking advantage of this feature, which will create a world class benchmark and Elmer will be bugging us about this every other post for the next ten years.

I don't see how. The ALU does not have any direct software visibility, and it's only impact is that it effectively shortens the length of the pipe, while retaining the 1.5 GHz clock speed. This will speed up applications by 5-10% max.
