SSE3 for AMD64

[Cr0nJ0b]

I'm not quite ready to upgrade yet, but I've heard that AMD has planned a new set of processors with SSE3 support and enhanced memory controller...

Does anyone have an idea of when that might be due?

Will it be a winchester enhancement or a different package?

thanks

i believe sse3 will be on the new dual cores, although i might be wrong .. http://www.dvhardware.net/article3247.html

All indications say that it (and the improved memory controller, and the strained silicon) will be on the E0 stepping, shipping in volume 2005Q3.

Or something like that.

The new cores are San Diego and Venice (FX and 64) both are to have SSE3 support and other improvements. They will use socket 939.
Search Anandtech for SSE3 and you should find the best answer to the question.

Yep. And according to this roadmap, Venice (Winchester refinement) is coming sometime next quarter.

E0 is Intel, if i am not mistaken.

San Diego will have SSE3 and Toledo will be Two San Diego Cores.

no need for SSE3, its all marketing.

It's better to have it than to not have it. One day there will be a few games that take advantage of it and may or may not require it, those games that are written for it will have a slight performance advantage.

yeah, might as well i guess. they probably charge $10 more per chip just because they have it though

SSE3 instructions are intel marketing, pretty much useless extensions.

what is SS2 ??? what are they used for? :/

 

[Sc4freak]

SSE2 is a set of instructions on a processor. It is used FAR more widely than SSE3, currently.
