So what? SSE2 is an *optional extension* for x86, and only mandatory on x86_64. Hardware makers can leave it out if they think it benefits their chip complexity or TDP.
That's a good point but... ...are there any modern chips without them? AFAIK even Atoms have it.
Well, that's easy to say because Intel, as the 'inventor' of SSE2, has the resources (patents, money, mahours) to throw it in their processors. You need to look to x86 non-Intel, non-AMD processors, really. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
