A little bit on the K7's FPU

Got this from The Register, so take it with a grain of salt if you wish:

"AMD will show its K7 at .25 microns and describes its out of order
FPU, which it claims will execute FPU instructions at two FLOPS
per cycle, 3DNow! SIMD instructions at four FLOPS per cycle
peak rate and up to three MMX SIMD instructions per cycle."

theregister.co.uk

How many FLOPS per cycle can the K6-X and PII/III do at peak rate?

I think the PII/III and K6-X can do two MMX instructions per cycle.

If you don't believe The Register, this info will probably come out on Feb. 15 at the IEEE conference.
