From what I can tell it's vectorized 128-bit ops, allowing, say, 4 floats to be added to another 4 floats in one op. Didn't we have that already in SSE3? Is this just AMD's version of SSE3? Anyone know what's different? --bb

It also supports operations on 128-bit floating point values, though I don't know if that's mentioned in the linked article. Sean
