Paul - RE: "WHAT compiler has 3DNOW built in ?" From voodooextreme.com, "Also, Metwork's Codewarrior compilers metrowerks.com (including C++, C, J++, and others I believe...) have taken advantage of 3D Now! for a while. In fact, for a test AMD took the Quake 2 source code, ran it through the Metrowork's compiler and saw 30% performance increase without modifications to the code." ______________________________________________________________________ Metrowerks and AMD Announce Expanded Relationship to Support AMD Technologies Austin,Texas-December 17, 1998-Metrowerks, Inc., (NASDAQ: MTWKF, TSE/ME:MWK) a leading provider of software development tools for desktop and embedded systems, today announced that the Company has entered into an agreement with AMD to provide expanded and continual support for AMD technology. As part of the agreement, Metrowerks will expand support within CodeWarrior for the AMD-K6™ and AMD-K7™ families of microprocessors. This includes enhancing support for AMD's 3DNow!™ technology and for 3DNow! technology implemented in AMD third-party products. Metrowerks will also add support within CodeWarrior for developing applications for Microsoft's Windows CE operating system running on AMD microprocessors and for developing embedded systems applications running on AMD's family of embedded microcontrollers and microprocessors. In accordance with the agreement, Metrowerks has also granted AMD a license to use CodeWarrior software development tools. Support for AMD's K7 processor will be included in Release 5 of CodeWarrior Professional which features the award-winning CodeWarrior Integrated Development Environment (IDE). Release 5 is scheduled to ship in early Spring 1999. The K7 processor includes a number of technological breakthroughs, including a 200 MHz system bus and a superscalar pipelined floating point unit. "AMD is committed to providing developers with robust, world class tools in support of AMD processors," said Mike Johnson, vice president of AMD's Advanced Architecture Labs. "This agreement further establishes AMD's commitment to bring state-of-the-art technology to software developers writing optimized applications for AMD's 3DNow! technology." "Metrowerks is pleased to expand its relationship with AMD in order to provide CodeWarrior technology for current and next-generation AMD technologies," said Jean Belanger, chairman and chief executive officer, Metrowerks. "CodeWarrior offers desktop and embedded developers easy-to-use, best-in-class tools in support of leading-edge microprocessor technologies." metrowerks.com __________________________________________________________________
