Cirruslvr,

Assuming that these quotes are really from "Bob" at AMD, they are essentially admitting that if the Katmai processor has Double Precision SIMD then all claims of K7 FPU superiority go out the window. Now I don't know if the Katmai has this capability or not, and I certainly wouldn't say so here if I did, but it does put some perspective on the comments of others who have made big claims while not really knowing what the competition will be.
