It's not as simple as a "CPU newer than date X" cutoff -- Intel limits AVX support to their Xeon and Core brands only. Their current-gen lower-end stuff (sold as Pentium, Celeron and Atom) doesn't support AVX of any flavor. And they sell a _lot_ of those. I think AMD's situation is a bit better, with all of their current processors supporting AVX, and only one (Family 16h) lacking AVX2. - Solomon -- Solomon Peachy pizza at shaftnet dot org High Springs, FL ^^ (email/xmpp) ^^ Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum videtur.
