sse3 on AMD64, i.e. -xP switch

[chburger]

I was wondering how it is possible to use the
sse3 instructions on the new incarnations of the AMD64 processors.

Will there be a new version of ifort (Linux)? Is there a current way to disable the cpuid check at runtime (a patch program for the executable
anyone)?

Use of -xP requires running on an Intel CPU of a model that supports SSE3. We do not provide a way to disable this check.
