Re: "HOWEVER!!! The C++ compiler DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY use SIMD without the user declaring SIMD data structures (e.g. 4-wide Single Precision FP). Since the SPEC benchmark code (both INT and FP) can't be changed, then the "optimized" scores CAN'T BE USING SIMD."

So are you saying that the SPEC scores reported yesterday did not use SIMD instructions and still beat the K7 by a wide margin in FP, assuming those rumored scores are correct?
