Re: "40% improvement is the magic 3DNow! number that I'm expecting SSE to be able to beat."

Why do you see it as important for the Intel SSE to show 40% improvement over the PII on NVidia TNT benchmarks? It may or it may not, I don't know. Is it your point that the SSE shows no improvement whatsoever, or that if it is less than 40% improvement on NVidia TNT benchmarks that will somehow make AMD's 3dnow superior? I am missing your point here.

Kevin,

Re: Nvidia benchmarks

Well has anybody compared the KIII to PII/Celery/PIII yet after the latest drivers.

Assuming the Nvidia was optimized for SSE are PIII's still faster than KIII's.
