<What is your opinion and analysis on this Intel/ADI alliance? Is this an attempt for Intel to improve the MMX unit? Obviously, being the first to incorporate a powerful DSP into the existing processor would have a lot of advantage over the competitors.>

Funny you should ask, because I was very interested in researching and designing DSP's back in college.

Anyway, I don't much about any potential marriage between the processor and the DSP. I thought Intel tried back then with the native signal processing (NSP) initiative, but I guess that effort fizzled. Plus, I suspect that the design of a typical DSP and a typical processor is just way too different to try and integrate.

<being the first to incorporate a powerful DSP into the existing processor would have a lot of advantage over the competitors. What can AMD do to counter this move?>
<Who can AMD partner with? Who would want ot partner with AMD to bring the DSP technology into the processors?>

AMD "countered" this move and "partnered" long time ago:
