Robert, Peter Glaskowsky, a senior analyst with the Microprocessor Report----------
To clarify from the Eerie Times article:
According to the article Glaskowsky is quoted as follows:
Peter Glaskowsky, a senior analyst with the Microprocessor Report (Sunnyvale, Calif.), expressed similar concerns, noting that Intel's KNI demos at the Developer Forum were unimpressive and failed to show MPEG-2 capabilities. "The digital video stuff will be there, but whether the 3-D stuff will be ready is unclear to me," he added.
Martin Reynolds, a vice president at market-research company Dataquest, Inc is quoted as saying the following:
"In addition, KNI includes specific instructions aimed at improving continuous-voice recognition and MPEG-2 encoding. Voice-recognition applications could see improvements of greater than 20 percent in accuracy or response time, thanks to some of the new instructions, said Shreekant (Ticky) Thakkar, principal processor architect on Katmai. New instructions for MPEG-2 encoding could collapse 24 tasks into 10, providing a 40 percent improvement in speed, "he said.
Looks like Glaskowsky was over in a corner somewhere reading Tom Kurlack.
