<No, I have no problem with the text. It is your problem if you can't get the information.> Gee, Ali, once again you have proven to me that you truly have a dizzying intellect. After all, I could not find anywhere within your web article saying that the Katmai's only advantage is the extra L1 cache. Meanwhile, I can probably turn up about a dozen people here at Intel Architecture Labs who can prove to you that the Katmai New Instructions really are much more useful than AMD's 3D-Now. You want more proof? Talk to the writers at Microprocessor Report who have concluded in their article on KNI that "KNI is clearly superior [to 3D-Now]." Talk to the developers out there who have advance Katmai samples and are spearheading a quiet but significant development effort to make KNI ubiquetous. Talk to AMD themselves who won't even rule out the possibility of implementing KNI in a future AMD CPU. (Perhaps the K7-2?) But if you want to get all argumentative with me, mocking me for not being able to find the information within some foreign article, and insulting my intelligence by telling me that the few English graphs in that article contain all the proof I need, then perhaps we have nothing more to discuss, Mr. Small Boxmaker.
