The new generation processors (Penryn) introduced additional instructions SSE4 witch should increase the speed with three-dimensional graphics, video and scientific calculations. To realize these advantages programs require optimization .
Intel plans to popularize SSE4 for the coming year. In 2008, at least 21 command will be put under the set of optimization SSE4. Much focus in these applications will be with video and graphics. Regarding games, Intel recognizes the minimal effectiveness of SSE4 application in this area. Consequently, only a small number of games will be optimized under SSE4.
For the first time this expansion, which include 47 command, appeared in 45 nm generation Penryn processors . A more advanced set of 54 command will be introduced in Nehalem generation processors, which will appear in a year. In this case, a set of commands will receive a SSE 4.2 symbol . Related Products :
