Sounds like AMD and Intel have done some sort of deal ie sse3 for x86_64

When they say next version, do they mean 3700+ and on
or
Socket 939/3700+ and on? (as in:does a 3000+ socket 939 count as next version?)

On the contrary, I think AMD did a good job with SSE2, they addressed it AFTER software started seriously taking advantage of it, but that's just imho.

power reductions, speed improvements and SSE3 support. Can't complain if they deliver these as they say. Gotta love competition.

The quick implementation of SSE3 will help negate a possible advantage that Intel would have once SSE3 enabled apps start appearing. SSE2 was in use for too long before AMD supported it.

But LEA is already an add... Or does LEA work in a crazy way on the x86?

As I understand the memory controller 'tuning' has been implemented in the new stepping of the A64 (to start with the A64 3700+).

Sure would be nice if the prefetch improvements were in there too (wishful thinking I suspect)

Are there any SSE3-enabled applications (or compilers) available yet?

It's good that AMD isn't making the same mistake with SSE2 that they did with SSE3. Back in the day of the original Pentium 4, it was a sucky performer -- and AMD saw no need to include SSE2 until it was too late, and Hammer was so close that they decided to just hold off.

Who knows if SSE3 is going to be a big thing...

I think Intel is going to take quite a beating this round. They better hope they can cool the Prescott down and crank that beast to some insane clockspeeds if they hope to have a chance in getting a performance crown.
