Fwd: [Discuss-gnuradio] AMD Phenom II X6 1055T

[Juha Vierinen]

How many SSE instructions can AMD do per clock cycle nowadays? A
couple of years ago Intel could do 1 per clock cycle and AMD could
only do 1/2, which was a huge downer for AMD. If they can now do 1 SSE
per clock cycle, they might be back in the game, which would be a
really good thing in terms of competition.

On the other hand, I think CUDA and OpenCL are in the brink of
changing the whole game. I have a couple of NVidia GTX 295 cards which
are doing most of my crunching nowadays -- they are easy to program
and they are much faster than any CPUs on the market.

BTW, wtf is this rant about newbies? People are just panicking with
their coursework -- chill-out man.
