    This is some good info on what SSE4 brings with it in the Intel 45nm processor. I think it is looking great.

    Hey, very interesting stuff, thanks. I'm struck that almost all of the new SSE4 vector instructions appear to be integer. Just round and dot product for floats?

    Funny, for all of Intel's braggadocio about leading the way in instruction set innovation, they neglected to mention AMD's groundbreaking 3DNow! and especially x86-64.

    I didn't understand the significance of Application Targeted Accelerators. How are they different from any other special purpose CISC instructions? Are they updateable in microcode or something?
