I need not respond to your "rebuttal" (of sorts), as thankfully another user spared me the pain (or rather, humour) in correcting your wild, er, "unique" point of view on modern microprocessor design. They are NO "native" instructions for the P6, K5, and Nx586. They do not EMULATE. They simply translate X86 instrucions into "micro-ops" to facilitate better handling and breakdown in the pipeline. Get it through your head. Put down EGM, and read a book.
