I am sorry but I cannot recall a message from you about this (can be eaten by the spam filter or simply lost?). I mean that you have always answered my questions about the video driver and similar thing (thanks again) just not those processor core questions so I supposed that it is not your area. My first questions were: http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2007-May/005227.html They were written at a time when I was thinking that the spec is just missing some data here and there. Now my simple question is (better call it a request): On this page http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Geode_LX I have named some instructions as "Synchronized ops" (in the MMX section). Are those real or did I mismeasured something? If those are real then would somebody from AMD just go through the databook and fix the instruction clock cycle numbers? Because in that case it is sure that they do not match reality and clearly I have better things to do than measuring clock cycles. Also the legend is clearly wrong in several cases so probably that would need checking too (like on page 668 note 4 talks about 3DNOW ops in the table about FP ops). Also there is absolutely no info about L2 cache miss penalties or mispredicted jumps or about the pipeline stages of the FP unit. See, all I would like to have is enough data that when I look at assembly code I could approximately calculate how many clock cycles will be consumed. Nothing more and nothing less. Thanks!
