Interesting article..

Is AMD's supposed lead in FP based on vector performance?

It would have to be, because the regular x87 FPU remained untouched as far as I know.

Although C2D has a higher theoretical throughput than the K10, I guess the k10 will be much more efficient in that regard.

One thing is clear though.. AMD needs to migrate to 45nm as quickly as possible, and when they do, they need to make sure that the 45nm version of the K10 is more than just a shrink.

Intel's Nehalem will undoubtedly have awesome performance, and will most likely outperform the K10 unless they make substantial improvements when they shrink it to 45nm.
