Cool, Kap. Sounds like McCormas (and Scumbria) had it pegged.

“One exciting application is that users can shoot video and upload it (onto the Web) extremely quickly,” Carmean said.

In order to put video onto the Web, it has to be put into what’s called the MPEG (Motion Picture Experts Group) format. The time it takes to do that will be cut drastically with the P4, he says.

There are new features for businesses, Carmean says. One is called database access, or data mining. Users will be able to quickly take their data and put it into 3-D charts and graphs, as needed.

Translation: There's going to be a lot of canned SSE2 demos at IDF. I imagine there's still some hope for semi-glowing specmarks, though, from a new edition of Intel's spec-only compiler. Time will tell, but 60-70% larger die for marginal performance gain doesn't strike fear in the heart.

Cheers, Dan.
