IA-64 3D Graphics Capabilities

• Many geometric calculations (transforms and lighting) use 32-bit floating-point numbers

• IA-64 configures registers for maximum 32-bit floating-point performance

  • Floating-point registers treated as 2x32 bit single precision registers
  • Able to execute fast divide
  • Achieves up to 2X performance boost in 32-bit data floating-point operations

• Full support for PentiumŪ III processor Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE)

IA-64 enables world-class GFLOPs performance
