jim,

re:"willy"

seems to me that clearly the FPU will suck compared to Athlon.

However i have a feeling AMD may do something similar with the mustang core.

The ATlon went way overboard with its HUGE FPU.

The mustang may cut back and add a 3dnow++ approach.

This may explain why mustang will be smaller and much lower power than current athlon core which will enable laptop apps as well.

Sure gonna get interesting.

regards,

Kash
