Vinve, Re: <P.S. I noted in an AMD interview that the exact prefetch opcodes used in SSE are supported in 3DNow!, so Haim Barad's speculation that any such optimizations done for Intel should also work for Athlon chips is probably correct. > According to the posts on JC msg board, you're right. Apparently, Athlon has two prefetch instructions - one is '3D Now' centric, and the other is same as 'SSE' with the exact same opcode. regards, Goutama

Vince, <Do you really think the Christmas season builds are already committed?> Yes, with the possible exception of the bricks set loose by 820 issues. <I still think enough 820 boards will be delivered to carry Intel's standard into the battle. > I have a feeling it is going the otherway but I am sure we will know the details in no more than two weeks ;-) <On the AMD execution front, what's your guess on possible CC sandbagging re Dresden timeframe?> Don't know, I am digging into it. Don't have much to say other than to say that the data points I have do not converge. I have a feeling we will see something other than Athlons from Dresden first. Probably K6s and SRAMs. I will post if I can confirm this. <MHz ramp on those .18s coming in november?> I am certain 800s will be shipped this quarter. The question is what timeframe will they become available to end customers. Chuck
