<However, AMD is not going away and PIII is only a small incremental improvement over PII. KNI is not going to offer any huge advantage over 3DNow. Any KNI mission critical apps will be ported to 3DNow as well.> As usual, you are playing the resident skeptic. I like that about you, Scumbria. It keeps us from getting too giddy. Anyway, what makes you think that any mission-critical application will be ported to 3DNow, a technology which was created from day one to be focused on the 3-D gaming market? (Can you imagine AutoCAD turning into AutoQuake?) Face it, Scumbria, KNI is much more robust than 3DNow. I'm sure you can pull a Jerry Sanders and argue that the peak floating point performance of both 3DNow and KNI will be identical. But considering that KNI will add eight 128-bit architected registers plus cache-streaming enhancements, which of the two do you think will actually achieve that peak performance for longer periods of time?
