Doug, The one feature that I think is extremely likely is SSE IMO, since AMD already has most of the functionality in 3DNow, it is just question of filling the gaps and remapping the instruction codes. But the changes we keep hearing lately, like SSE2, change in L2 architecture are a long shot. Hardware prefetch is probably 50:50. But let's take SSE. If it is supported, why not announce it at some point? In SSE vs. 3DNow, SSE has won, there is no point in pretending otherwise, since AMD already announced tha both SSE and SSE-2 will be supported by Hammer family. So if Paly has SSE, the decision to keep it secret (after say November 2000) has a net negative effect for the company, since AMD doesn't have a checkmark in this one category (at least on the roadmap.
