E' ufficiale, AMD ha ammesso di voler adottare le SSE2 per i suoi prossimi processori di ottava generazione e forse anche per l'Athlon attuale (Barton ?). Questo comporterà una maggior voglia dei programmatori di utilizzare tali Streaming Extensions. A questo indirizzo l'articolo.

According to the piece, while AMD has confirmed the use of SSE II in its up-and-coming Hammer K8 family, Intel is being a little reluctant to give it a licence during this year.
Whether that's true or not, we don't know - in some ways it helps Intel when people use SSE II - anything to push those extra instructions and create good software including games is very welcome.
Instead, tecchannel reckons that AMD will start using SSE II in 2003, when Intel will give it a licence.
The site quotes Jan Gutter as saying the following: "AMD is indeed planning to support SSE2 as soon as it has become a standard in the marketplace. We expect to see that in 2003"
