CPU's with and without SSE2
As we all know by now, Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 requires that the CPU include the SSE2 instruction set.
These CPU's have it:
- AMD K8-based CPUs (Athlon 64, Sempron 64, Turion 64, etc)
- Intel NetBurst-based CPUs (Pentium 4, Xeon, Celeron, Celeron D, etc)
- Intel Pentium M and Celeron M
- Intel Core-based CPUs (Core Duo, Core Solo, etc)
- Intel Core 2-based CPUs (Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad, etc)
- Intel Atom
- Transmeta Efficeon
- VIA C7
- VIA Nano
These CPU's DO NOT have it (NO DNS 10 for you!):
- AMD CPUs prior to Athlon 64, including all Socket A-based CPUs
- Intel CPUs prior to Pentium 4
- Via C3
- Transmeta Crusoe
These lists may not be exhaustive, but they are a start.
*sigh*
Is that the case? I thought
Is that the case? I thought SSE2 was some new-fangled stuff. I was probably confusing it with SSE3: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSE3. Actually, although I can't find the topic now, someone else commented on what SSE2 provides, but the comments actually described SSE3 capabilities.
I have to retract some of my high dudgeon. While they still should have labeled the boxes as you suggested, this is scarcely a high-crime and misdemeanor. It also can't be the most significant cause for all the installation failures we've been hearing about -- as your poll documents, there just aren't relatively many old systems out there, your notable case notwithstanding
Something doesn't add up: There are a lot of installation failures, but the majority of these DON'T seem to involve non-SSE2 compatible CPUs.

They are up to SSE4 and beyond. Who's going to keep up?

Not being rich, but infamous, I still think we should hang 'em all high and let them buzzards eat lunch. Oh wait.. that was from the days of pirates. Oh well, whatever.

It's probably an evil plot by the 800 pound software gorilla to undermine and destroy all competition. After all, they do torture the world daily with WinDoze.
