It was a shitty chip anyway. No SIMD of any kind. Good riddance, I hope Microsoft picks something more respectable next time.

- fulafel 9y agoThe Cherry Trail Z8x00 chips are listed as supporting SSE too, are you saying the Z8100P is a custom design with the SIMD units removed and MMX disabled from the x86 FPU? Interesting idea, but would call for a reference I think.
- 0xbear 9y agoI mean real SIMD, the kind you need these days: AVX, AVX2, FMA. And to add insult to an injury, MS was running the chip in 32 bit mode, which further restricts the usable instruction set.
