Re: "AMD will probably choose to enhance the SSE2 instruction set to support loading/storing from the full 64 bits of all x86-64 GP registers (rather than the low-order 32 bits) but that is by no means an essential change. They could equally well stick to the current SSE2 ops of loading from the legacy part of the x86-32 compatible GP registers."

I wonder how much time AMD is spending debating this issue - and not designing ?
