Epinephrine,

What are your feelings as a chip architect regarding Intel's apparent decision to forgo significant X87 FPU enhancements in favor of ISSE2 Optimizations? Any comments from you would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think there is enough information available yet to make any judgements. Low clock speed can be compensated for with a wide datapath. I'll be happy to comment when the microarchitecture is made public.
