If Quake became the next Hula Hoop, you'd have your application. A more likely app is voice recognition. Given friends' problems with RSI, I expect it progressively to become widespread. However, while P3's SIMD extensions appear to have helped Dragon's initial work with a new operator, it doesn't sound like it improves thereafter.

I expect SIMD will be shoved down the throats of ISV's (with monetary inducements) where applicable. It will help sell P3 to the audiences who were buying Intel anyway for its superior floating point. The corporate world will look at the benchmarks and buy K6 or Celeron.
