 Hi,

  short question:
  My PC runs a AMD Phenom II X6 1090T (E0 stepping, Black Edition).
  cat /proc/cpuinfo claims, that the processor does support sse, sse2
  and sse4a (sse3 is missing).

  Wikipedia states for the same CPU that it would support sse3.

  What is correct?

  Best regards,

 IIRC the sse3 flag is pni.

Correct. See http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/5/3/86

But none of the AMD cpus support ssse3. (with 3 s) Just to cloud the
issue some. :-)
