Bulldozer will incorporate speedier SSE5 instruction set
Intel has been one step ahead of AMD on most occasions in the war between them. And the story of introducing latest SSE instruction has not be no different until now. While Intel is planning to introduce SSE4 instruction set in their 45nm Penryn chips , AMD has taken a step ahead of them. AMD has already declared that they would be introducing SSE5 instruction set in their new Bulldozer core which is expected to be available in the market by 2009. The interesting thing about SSE5 is that AMD is planning to release technical details as soon as possible so that they can get professionals feedback on this as early as possible and do the necessary modifications before its release. The most important feature of SSE5 instructions set will be its ability to work with 3-operands which means lesser number of statements in a program leading to faster execution and brilliant speeds. Besides this, SSE5 will feature user-built instruction sets that can be used to do complex calculations easily and it will be powered with Fused Multiply Accumulate instruction with which you can perform iterative calculations quickly.
