Go up one level in this thread


 Depends on what you use it for. It's slower than SSE but last time I looked the
precision was better. It was quite a while ago. But maybe a rewrite to SSE might
be faster anyway.
 It is probably time to retire the archaic FP cludge x87. As well as 3Dnow! and
MMX. Even though I really liked the 3Dnow! architecture. Far superior to the
MMX/SEE IMO.
