1This directory contains code for x86-64 processors with fast
2implementations of SSE operations, hence the name "fastsse".

4Current processors that might benefit from this code are:
5
6  AMD K10
7  AMD Bulldozer
8  Intel Nocona
9  Intel Nehalem/Westmere
10  Intel Sandybridge/Ivybridge
11  VIA Nano

13Current processors that do not benefit from this code are:
14
15  AMD K8
16  AMD Bobcat
17  Intel Atom

19Intel Conroe/Penryn is a border case; its handling of non-aligned
20128-bit memory operands is poor.
