SSE3 & "improvements"

In the Stanford lecture, Kevin McGrath alluded to a new floating point unit for the K8.

Looks like this wil come with the E0 stepping early next year.

The existing 3 execution unit design is excellent for MMX & 3DNow but is not wide enough for SSE & SSE2, which requires a minimum of 4 units.

IMHO the addition of SSE3 is of minor interest compared to any speed up in SSE/SSE2 which is heavily used, and execution unit limited, in video data processing.
