News: AMD processors are exclusively supported

1. AIDA64 6.60 official version released: Support Intel 13/14 generation Core

The authoritative hardware inspection and testing tool AIDA64 today released the official version of 6.60, improving the support for Intel Raptor Lake 13th generation Core, including AVX, AVX-512 accelerated testing, and initial support for Meteor Lake 14th generation Core. The 13th generation is the upgraded version of the 12th generation, the process architecture remains unchanged, and the potential is deeply tapped. 14th generation upgrade Intel 7 process, hybrid package.

2. Automatic warning of risk trading! WeChat Pay "anti-fraud customer service reminder" function was launched

3, AMD processor exclusive support 3DNow instruction set was eliminated by Linux

Support for the AMD 3DNow instruction set has reportedly been abandoned in the upgrade of the Linux 5.17 kernel code, X86_USE_3DNOW option has been removed, which was previously primarily used to support older processors, including Geode LX, K7, and Cyrix III.

Of course, linux's deletion of the 3DNow instruction set is not unusual, nor is it surprising, because AMD abandoned the 3DNow instruction set as early as 2010, and there is no longer this instruction set in subsequent processors, only some older CPUs support it.

The 3DNow instruction set is the x86 instruction set introduced by AMD in 1998, which mainly competed with Intel's MMX instruction set, first published on the K6-2 architecture processor, and shined in the Athlon processor in 1999.

However, Intel processor has not supported 3DNow instruction set, which is exclusively supported by AMD processors, and then Intel has launched the SSE instruction set, gradually unifying the x86 extended instruction set, AMD also had to follow up, only in the x64 instruction set to pull back an important round, the so-called SSE5 instruction set pushed by the bulldozer was also defeated by Intel's AVX instruction set, and did not become mainstream.
