Pravin: Looks like AMD did a bang-up job with their SSE implementation.

(http://www.lostcircuits.com/cpu/palomino/)

I'm sorely disappointed that there was absolutely ZERO mention of hardware prefetching anywhere in the article. Clearly, this feature could easily have been just as responsible for the performance boosts as SSE support.

In the end, of course, it doesn't matter all that much. The performance is there and that's what counts.
