Full SSE has been rumored for a while. It would be great. But when JC said it might start with an "i" but surely not end with a "2," I thought "ia 32"- and that the register's rumors about mustang have a 64 bit core were true. Not that it would help AMD, given that there is no OS, but it would make more sence given that AMD is going to ship Hammer in a year, and that that's a short time to do a major core revision. But if mustang already has some 64 bit parts to it, the timetable looks more reasonable. After all, Mustang must have been on the board at the time that AMD announced the now dead TFP for sledge, and also at the time that AMD thought that they would get xbox. So considering this history, Mustang with SSE would not make sense, unless AMD had already found a way to use the same logic for both SSE and 3DNOW. Time will tell, even if JC won't :P
