Re: "I'll bet Intel helped someone build SSE2 into an MP3 encoder. Encoders are pretty FPU intensive so I wouldn't expect the P4 to encode that well unless it used SSE2 would you?" I'll bet Intel did help someone optimize their MP3 code for P4, but isn't that what one would expect? I would. EP

McPanic - Re: 'Could look bad if someone benches it with an MP3 encoder that doesn't support SSE2 or SSE.' I'll bet AMD benchmarks the Pentium 4 MP3 encoding with interpreted MS Basic - Version 1.0 How valid would that be? Better yet - how relevant would that be? When SludgeScummer comes out with SSE2 - will you be crying for the "AMD bitches" to benchmark it WITHOUT SSE2 instructions - or will you just be your smug hypocritical self and blow it off like a complete jack ass?
