Ten - Re: 'Why is Jimmy Mac being so cynical over the SSE2-optimized applications?' McPanic is his usual hypocritical self when Intel is UP $1 13/16 and AMD is DOWN and Intel's 1.5 GHz Pentium 4's are sitting on the shelves at distributors as he wets his pants. Paul

RE:"4) Why is Jimmy Mac being so cynical over the SSE2-optimized applications?" Because I happen to know something about MPEG encoding and the MP3 community will see through this very easily if it is bogus. What they tried on P3 MP3 encoding was a total zero. We really need to know what program they used. Jim

Thanks Ten, I don't understand what's so misleading about using a new architectural feature. If someone complains about the FP unit... but says it's unfair to use other SIMD-FP units... Forgive me, but I don't understand the logic. We had this discussion with MMX and SSE. I see it coming again. This time, I'll just shut up. By the way, I know first hand that AMD (like Intel) assists companies in optimizing their SW. Is this "cheating" (I guess only when Intel does it) Sigh... Haim
