Re: Fastcode 2007 CPU Targetset

Hi Lars

AMD 64 X2 supports SSE3 which old AMD 64 does not. That is one of the bigger
differences.

All the new AMD's use the same core and the only way to get another core is
to add Athlon XP to the target set. But we removed it last year because it
is getting old.

As I see it we need to have the two current AMD targets and then 3 or 4
Intel targets to get the balance rigth. The Intel/AMD ratio for Fastcode
interested people is approx. 50/50 and it is more like 75/25 in the general
market place. I think it is proper for us to use 4/2 = 66/33.

Only challenge using more than one core is MM.

Best regards
Dennis Kjaer Christensen
