But not true for Intel in general, because Intel still ships low-end Core processes branded as "Pentium" and "Celeron" such as the Intel® Pentium® Gold G6600 which have AVX disabled.
It only holds true for Intel macs because Apple have never used these processors in their products.
- daenney 6y agoIt doesn’t matter that it’s not true for Intel in general, brew doesn’t target “Intel in general”.
- Brian_K_White 6y agoIf it doesn't, that's just yet another broken assumption by homebrew. Macos is run on other hardware, both physical and virtual, than a few Apple models.
- daenney 6y agoIt’s not a broken assumption. You can still build and compile all formulae yourself. But for the bottles, the precompiled builds, they’ve always had a lower boundary on which generation of Mac you need to at least be running, and as a consequence which instructions are available.
