Okay so here are a few more questions (based upon coffee  discussions today):

1) MVI first appears in EV56 which is early to mid 1996. According to the doc archives at Intel, MMX appears in Pentium in mid-1997 (although wikipedia says 1996). Did Intel borrow the idea from Compaq or was this just a coincidence?

2) Are there any SIMD instructions in Itanium?
