ViennaL Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Can you tell my why SSE2 CPUs are slower then cpus with sse3? Someone told me that this is because every sse3 command has to be converted into a sse2 command. I guess QE and CI and CoreAnimation are alle compiled with sse3 compiler flags. 1) Is that correct? 2) What chance do we have to see a kernel for SSE2 with working sleep?

shakaru Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Question 1: Pretty much yes, atleast for the part about the sse3 commands are pretty much striped and converted. But you can get QE/CI to work on a sse2 machine. I have a machine with a sse2 processor with the GMA 900 chipset that has both QE/CI. Its just a matter of your gfx card really for that issue. Question 2: There is a chance, but its a very hard task. Just wait and see if something gets deved-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
