AMD just announced that their AMD Performance Library is now available to the open-source community. The APL is a set of common routines used in popular software. When implemented, the APL is designed to hasten application development, debugging, and optimization for x86 CPUs.  AMD is dropping the proprietary library in favor of the new open-source offshoot called Framewave.

Mac and PS3 users, check out the new Yellow Dog 6, and get to folding.

Phoronix has an analysis of the AMD Phenom. They look at the 32bit versus the 64bit performance. It is an interesting angle.
