Cirruslvr, re:< It also adds eight 128-bit floating point registers> I wonder how compatible they'll make the SIMD extensions with SSE and SSE2? Will Intel sue? Petz

Re: "Paul, I remember you once suggested Sun may want to hook up with AMD's X86-64. Although this quote is just flub, it may lead to something down the road." Good memory ! Somebody on the other AMD thread asked me the same thing. I thought that an AMD-SUN deal would help them both - and help them both hurt their common enemy, Intel. Maybe it still would - but ITanium is now too close to release and SludgeHumper may still be 1+ years away from sampling. I'd say the SUN-AMD tie up now falls into the category of "Opportunity Lost".
