AMD posted a press release and a PDF describing the new instructions."

Is there finally a decent way...

to check for the condition inside SSE machine, without bothering the main CPU ?

It would be very nice if SSE would be capable of executing at least short loops without needed intervention of the rest of the chip and if it could check for conditions.

This way, one could find the element in a sequence that satisfies given condition ( min, max, whatever else) and bother the CPU ( via interrupt or maybe polling) when it is found/not .

As it is now, SSE machinery is good only for intensive data massaging without a
