Won't be BIG anymore if it's gimped, will it?
- kllrnohj 6y agoIt will. The performance different between an Intel Atom and a Core i3 has basically nothing to do with differing instruction set extensions. AVX2 support is not why a Core i3 runs circles around an Atom, particularly since the overwhelming majority of instructions executed are not AVX anyway.
- rbanffy 6y agoI'm pretty sure my computer does a lot of AVX while it matches virtual backgrounds to my video feed, or while it tries to figure out voice commands. All that can be done with SSE and probably with x87 instructions, but, still, software will try to pick the best option.
