New instruction sets in CPU
- by Tomek Tarczynski
Every new generation of CPU introduces some sets of new instruction, ie.: MMX,3DNOW,SSE and so on.
I've got few general questions about them:
1) If some program uses for example SSE instruction can it be run on CPU that doesn't support SSE?
2) If yes , does it mean that those instuction will be changed to some greater number of simpler…
