<You make a very good point here. The K6 core FPU performs significantly below the P6 core FPU. Thus one would expect that, given SSE and 3DNow! were equally good, the improvement in the Intel case would be significantly less.>

With AMD banking their hopes on a killer K7 FPU, I wonder how useful 3DNow! would be on K7.
