I know there are people who have had access to the Intel docs for a while now, and obviously Intel is too frigging proud to list the differences explicitly. >>From what I can tell from a quick look, it looks like it is basically just the 3DNow vs SSE3 thing, but I assume there are other details too. Can people who have been involved with this make a quick list for the rest of us who only got to see the final details today? (And I assume there's somebody with a few patches pending..)
