Athlon64 SSE3

Does it includes Prescott New Instructions? Does it do any good in A64?

I live in the Great Kingdom of Kyhanistan and thought of getting FX57 or 4200+ in future.
 
Does nothing right now, but in the future when more apps use SSE3 it will be nice to have and will allow programs to run more smoothly.

You live in whatthestan? I don't think you should be playing with circuit boards and wires bud?
 
I check out the SSE3 description. It contains 11 integers opcode and 2 Hyperthreading opcode. Is MONITOR and MWAIT useful in future A64 or is it reserved for multicore A64?
 
When the A64 gets SSE3, the two hyperthreading opcodes will not be included since AMD doesn't do hyperthreading.

SSE3 is currently used in some applications, primarily media encoding/decoding - one of the few niches left where an Intel chip is still king. Not for much longer though.
