E6600 and SSE4

[superballz00]

Why doesn't my E6600 hav SSE4 on cpuz? It shows SSSE3. Is that a mistake?

Mines the same, what is sse4?

 

[superballz00]

Newer set of instructions coded into the cpu. I saw some other cpuz posts with SSE4 on it for the E6600 so I was curious why mine didn't have it.

Quad cores have sse4 i believe.
What car is that btw?

cpuzid v1.36 reports sse4 but 1.38 rerpots ssse3

I Have 1.38. Hmmm

It's probably just a typo guys.

I'm with you. I am going to rest well tonight. Peace and happiness.

It got renamed from SSE4 to Supplemental Streaming SIMD Extension 3 (SSSE3). The real SSE4 is supposed to be released with the Nehalem core.
