Tenchusatsu, <Wouldn't that be double the processing power of
3D-Now? (Disclaimer: No one really knows the real details
of KNI yet. I'm only basing these KNI assumptions on a link
I saw in the Intel thread.)>
You should look better into the hype your buddies are
posting here:
ebnews.com
"Intel said that early tests revealed a 10% improvement
over MMX for multimedia-specific instructions."

What a revelation! Elmer must be excited
with the excuse "early tests"...

"At peak bandwidth, the Katmai's new instructions should
offer 2 GFLOPS floating-point calculations, Yu said."
I guess it would answer your theoretical enquiry.

<I'm sorry, but this is the second most idiotic statement I've
ever heard. (The first would be that statement which includes
the words "legally accurate.")>

Don't be sorry, your own aggressive questioning of
the obvious things looks much more idiotic.
