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

[Hans de Vries]

Thanks ajaidev,2x128 is simpler at least. There are a lot of things around the AVX spec AMD must do (in order to get full support).Good thing is that there is plenty of time until BD core tapes out.

BTW,there are some whispers that RevD *may* have SSE4.x(or SSSE3) support.RevD should be Istanbul. But at this point it's only a rumor.

I see that Intel publicly stated that it would be 256 bite wide.
This is from a while ago though.
