Kevin, re: 3d video. One of the big things the AM3D instruction set can do quickly is coordinate transformation of triangles, which, basically is computing where all the 3D things are, projected onto a 2D screen. But then it will be the job of the video card to render each triangle considering light sources, texture, layers, etc.

We'll have to wait for some actual benchmarks to see how it works out

I hope very well. BTW, I first saw "AM3D" in a post from Rod MacPherson. Whether its an official AMD trademark, I don't know.
