Xeon(至强)上市后,英特尔公司的首要事情就是为新一代奔腾Ⅱ——Katmai作准备,它可能是本世纪X86产品的最后一件(前不久,英特尔公司宣布Merced会推迟6个月,或许到2000年才上市),将于1999年正式推出。 Katmai为MMX IA添加了70条新指令,以增强三维和浮点应用,并让原来支持MMX的软件和WEB开发程序运行得要快。这个技术被命名为MMX2,它可兼容以前的所有MMX程序,此规格是英特尔公司在1998年1月宣布的。新指令包
After Xeon went public, Intel’s first priority was to prepare for a new generation of Pentium II-Katmai, which could be the last piece of the X86 of the century (not long ago, Intel announced that Merced will be postponed for six months, Perhaps not listed until 2000), will be officially launched in 1999. Katmai added 70 new instructions to the MMX IA to enhance 3D and floating point applications and to make the original MMX-enabled software and web development programs run faster. The technology, named MMX2, is compatible with all previous MMX programs announced by Intel in January 1998. New instruction package
