I'm sure that there was a reason that Carmack didn't want to include these patches. I just have a hard time understanding why AMD wouldn't make a stink about how their CPU really is just as fast as the P4 in all these game benchmarks.

After all, the Quake3 benches put P4's WAY over the top of an Athlon. This just explains why.

As for not including arch specific optimizations.... didn't Carmack put SSE in there?
