wow.. just wow, im really baffled. So you claim intel intel just released the next revision of AVX to hamper AMD?

With your own links you have proven, that AVX is far from finished if they already have gone throught 2 (ore more) revisions in less then 1 year, and im sure there are going to be a few more before we finally see it in hardware.

AMD should stop weeping and show some guts again, as they did with AMD64.
If amd already has a instruction set ready with FMA, they should release it, cause 2 years is a long time to catch up for intel, might be even eough to pull another AMD64 and intel has to adapet amds solution.
