Hello experts,

Per AVX official specification, for Windows seems AVX only support Win7+SP1 or Win Server 2008R2. Whetheris it exactly true? DoesAVXsupport on Win XPif running machine is Sandy Bridge architecture built-in?

I am falling in love with AVX. :-) It is much appreciate you can answer this.

Thanks in advance.

As you mentioned, AVX is supported only after Win7 SP1. WinXP does not have AVX support. It may be a question/request to Microsoft to add the support.
