<So your original statement about recompiling floating-point benchmarks to take advantage of SSE was bunk as you hopefully have realized by now.> I do not agree with your statement. My origonal assertion was "The Intel compiler for Pentium III will allow execution of multiple floating point instructions, without the need for assembly language coding. Thus on benchmarks recompliled for SSE , the Pentium III will outperform the K-7 under most benchmarks." However I will modify it as follows: "The Intel compiler for Pentium III will allow execution of multiple floating point instructions, without the need for assembly language coding. Thus on benchmarks recoded and recompliled for SSE , the Pentium III will outperform the K-7 under most benchmarks."
