Shintai,are you blind or dumb?You can read can't you. Read what the man said. The CPU is due out in 2011. By that time they will certainly make public more manuals as they usually do,prior to the launch. Before this happens you have a word from one of the engineers that designed the core that BD will support AVX version 5 and FMA version 3 PLUS an additional XOP extensions(a "leftover" from SSE5 now ported to AVX VEX decoding scheme). It's fairly simple and you failing to grasp it shows either you have reading comprehension problems or you simply can't get it even if you can read what was written.
To recap:
1)AVX and FMA are not one at the same.SandyB,as intel rep said in my link,will not support FMA,while supporting AVX.
2)AMD will support AVX version 5,FMA version 3 and add their own,additional, XOP set which is a pack of instructions from former SSE5 with AVX decoding scheme.
