"Where did I post anything other than AI programs are generally list processing programs?

You brought up Computer Vision, not me.

I responded to your claim that AI isn't software that could be expected to run well on Athlon (vs. DSP oriented applications that do well on P4's FSB)."

When you wrote these words:

"Wrong, tcmay.

AI programs, for the most part, are built around LISP, or a LISP like language.

LISP is primarily a linked list processor, and running through linked lists is where AMD's 20-way cache dominates Intel's 8-way cache.

That "generalization" that zofsilence posted was both germane and correct.
"

You agreed with "zofsilence"'s assertion and argued that AMD's cache structure would let LISP programs run better.

You are also lying when you say I said "AI isn't software that could be expected to run well on Athlon." I made no such claim.

You are a deceitful liar.
