Intel's multimedia architecture extension

Intels MMX/sup TM/ (MultiMedia eXtension) technology is designed to accelerate multimedia and communications software. MMX/sup TM/ technology improves performance by compatibly introducing new data types and instructions to the Intel architecture that exploit parallelism in these applications.

Future trends in PC computing and their implications to SoC

The trends of growing segmentation of PC computing devices, of which many are sleek mobile form factors, the convergence of compute and communications, the need to respond ever more faster to changing market requirements, and growing emphasis on media content and innovative human interfaces, are driving changes to the way traditional high volume mainstream PC CPUs and core logic are architected and designed.
