Talk:Streaming SIMD Extensions

"While MMX is redundant, operations can be operated in parallel with SSE operations offering further performance increases in some situations."

I left this in as I understood it from the previous content, but can anyone confirm the accuracy? Xrikcus 23:10, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Does Core 2 Support SSE 4?

While reading up on SSE I found that SSE 4 was said to be not supported on any current processor on the market having only read an article over at http://www.gamepc.com/labs/view_content.asp?id=e6600&page=2 that states that Core 2 does support SSE 4 and showing a CPU - Z screen shot stating that it supports SSE 4, half the websites I goto either say that it is planned, some say it supports it and Intels bloated site tells me nothing. It also appears that a large number of these sites confuse SSSE3 with SSE4.

For the mean time I have edited it to say that SSE will be supported in a new version of Core 2 (Penryn).

All Intel Core 2 products (and in fact all Intel Core microarchitecture products support SSSE3, but not SSE4. Intel mentions SSSE3 in a good bit of the Core 2 documentation (for instance here). There's not a lot about SSE4 available from Intel, other than this brief overview and some suggestions that it will first show up with Penryn. — Aluvus ^t/c 00:13, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
