> I don't think Palimino will have SSE,

Interesting. On a separate note, if Palomino hypothetically had full SSE support, do you think it'd be much of a help for AMD? How do you propose AMD, for example, should fight the media observation that AMD doesn't have SSE2, which most people seem to see as a superior version of SSE (which is an inaccurate description, as SSE2 targets completely different types of computations)?

Dale, do you really think bandwidth isn't important in linpack? The falloff of the curve once you get out of the cache is steep. I understand that there's a latency problem in going to main memory that bandwidth won't help without prefetching. Still, I wonder.

Cheers, Dan.
