| | Will SSE3 be optional for Tiger x86? - OSx86 Project Forum |
| | However, as this Apple document on the Intel transition states, "SSE3 is an optional hardware feature on MacOS X for Intel. | | | If you wish to use SSE3 features, you must detect them first, similar to how you are required to check for AltiVec." The paper goes on to reveal that, "SSE is not available in any format for MacOS X for PowerPC and AltiVec is not available for MacOS X for Intel. | | | This parallels what already should be (is) done for AltiVec and just re-establishs a good coding practice as new x86 extensions are possible in the future. |

| | ChipGeek Features: Intel's upcoming SSE3 extensions |
| | If SSE3 could incorporate an ability to access the FPU functionality without storing results on the FPU stack or register space then that would be a tremendous step forward in computing. | | | SSE3 will also likely include additional instructions used to convey compile-time information about HyperThreading and out-of-order execution code streams. | | | SSE2, for example, represents the single greatest advance in IA-32 architecture since the FPU was brought directly onto the CPU die, thereby creating a single piece of silicon with both integer and floating point support. |
