Yes, but x86 doesn't have 128-bit FP operations -- it does multiple 32-bit or 64-bit ops at once. So at best anandtech is being confused, and at worst they're really confused. I've never seen anyone ever count a group of 32-bit or 64-bit ops as 128-bit ops. And we shouldn't start doing it, either. -- greg _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
