Dumbmoney, <Ali, you should leave the discussion of technical matters to people who have a clue. You don't have the faintest idea what you're talking about.> Little clue-haver, look at Fig.2-2 on AGP spec first. Attentively. Then do some specific benchmarking. After that you may be in a better position to understand what _I_ am talking about. Then shut up. Even if you were right about KNI having no double-precision ops, posessing the confidential information does not mean that you understand something in systems design. And I doubt you cryptic message about non-relevance of Merced's "kernel" microcode to Intel internet browser - too many indications that Intel is way too serious about Internet. Why you are so picky? Did I touch a sensitive spot? You have a clue? Are you by the chance one of the lame AGP designers? One more clue about AGP. At the recent international conference an Intel guy Brian Mears has presented performance results for their i740. eecs.umich.edu Incidentally, all data were shown for basic 3D-Winbench, where all textures fit into the card's 8MB local memory, and no data were presented about how brilliant is the AGP-based texture mapping. Do you think Intel omitted to present the large texture benchmarks because of too stunning performance? Give us a clue...
