Scumbria - <I suspect that the benchmark numbers will be impressive, but unfortunately they will not tell anything about the specific value of the fast ALU. >

What I would like to see is a technical presentation. When's the next chance? MPR's shin-dig?

Scumbria, Re: I suspect that the benchmark numbers will be impressive

people in general think that it will be good only if SSE2 is used. For the old x87 opcode, it may be worst. Any comment ?
