ONe fo my machines still has K8 - AMD64 X2 6000+ in it. |

cat /proc/cpuinfo doesn't list SSE3 capabilities of the CPU, whereas AMD |
| 4 |
states that newer AMD64 (2005 and after that) are SSE3 capable and |
| 5 |
gcc-4.3.2 has -march=k8-sse3 |

|

Wikipedia states that AMD K8 is SSE3 capable, except for a few |
| 8 |
Intel-specific instructions. Maybe that is the reason why it isn't |
| 9 |
listed in /proc/cpuinfo ? |

Until now I have always used -march=k8, but now I wonder whether it |
| 13 |
would be safe to use k8-sse3. |

Has anyone tried this yet ? |
