Cringe - Re: " Intel spent LOTS of $millions to promote MMX. "

And they were Extremely Successful.

Within 9 months, only MMX-enabled CPUs were selling.

All major 2D graphics packages now incorporate MMX enhancements.

Re:" Intel will spend even more $millions to promote KNI. I should hope Intel has more titles that support KNI when it comes out than titles that supported MMX when it came out. Don't you? "
