This is a message board thread from 2009 FYI.
- Phylter 7y agoThere is a recent post discussing the idea that AMD Phenom processors are unfairly disadvantaged because they do not support SSE3 and modern games are targeting SSE3/4.2. I think that's what this post it trying to point out. I really don't see any modern relevance to this post though since modern AMD processors support these instructions. I'd still be curious to know if Intel is doing this though. I guess there are some other Ryzen related conversations too that are relevant.
- flyingfences 7y ago> modern AMD processors support these instructions ... and that's the whole point of the post. AMD CPUs support the instructions, but Intel's compiler ignores that support on non-Intel processors.

- ncmncm 7y agoThere is a useful recent note, toward the end, about an environment variable that, apparently, may be set when running a program built with Intel's compiler, and that will enable the program to run at full speed on an AMD cpu.
