AMD embraces AVX making a new superset with SSE5(256bit support)

[informal]

So doesn't AMD supporting all the AVX instructions make a mockery of your claims that Intel was purposely introducing incompatibilities to f@@k up AMD?

No,read up before posting nonsense. Intel changed the FMA format, which is not an integral part of AVX.Intel plans to add FMA only at later point,after Sandy Bridge.They change it at last minute thus rendering AMD's early implementation incompatible with their new format.AMD will use more powerful FMA4 in BD cores,instead of FMA3 in Ivy Bridge.

Better luck next time though

PS all can see shintai is now avoiding this thread like a plague ,circling around it hoping the thread will go away and his pwng is forgotten .He's "pulling a sh..." on us

So was the last sentence here:

And Phenom was 50% faster than Core 2 also..ye...

So in short, you cant. Because you dont know. You claim its a superset. Yet you dont know.

AMD expects to support a partial portion of AVX. What AMD calls AVX is funny enough not the same as what Intel calls AVX. Plus inside AVX you also got FMA, VEX.128, VEX.256 and AVX.

There was a reason i called you a marketing tool.

He never bothered to admit he was plain wrong.He kept putting me down over and over again and when proved wrong over and over again he keeps silent and plays dumb now.

It really is good news for everyone!
Executables will not get unnecessary bigger, programmers will have less to worry about and they will have more resources to properly optimize they code-path and new programmers will have less to learn about.

I'm glad AMD did that move, I just hope at some point both parties will agree on direction which to take for future ISA extensions.
