AMD strictly moderated (AMD)

Alan,

That said, the time from finding something like macro-ops fusion to implementation will be several years.

It is entirely possible that AMD has been working on it for several years already. I remember posting on aces at the time Banias was released that it would be a good idea for AMD to copy. I am sure that AMD has people who thing of those things before i can think of it.

Having said that, I doubt it will be in Rev F core. A little more likely for K8L.
