Message #115705 from Jim McMannis at Nov 2, 2000 4:21 PM RE:"It was MP3 and just what's misleading" What's misleading is that most all MP3 encoders don't use SSE. Intel found one to introduce the P3 with. I believe it was "Virtuosa gold" I've yet to find anyone who ever used it. It looked like a toll road. See what happened to Virtuosa gold here, out of business... audiosoft.com The popular ones like Lame, Fraunhofer, Blade (ISO), Xing...don't use SSE to my knowledge. So without knowing which encoder they used, the test and whether it was SSE optimized some statement like "25% faster" is very misleading. It's not misleading. When % speedup is stated, it's on the same SW package. If the package uses SSE, then the same one runs on PIII as well (as PIII ALSO has SSE). If it's using SSE2, then that's a new P4 feature. Most importantly - you would be surprised as to what commercial products use SSE. I think very surprised. Haim
