+Description: CPU feature checking - common back-end
+ The packages in the isa-support family probe for microprocessor Instruction
+ Set Architecture features such as SSE3. By refusing to install on machines
+ lacking a required feature, they allow ISA requirements to be handled in
+ terms of package dependencies.
+ .
+ This package provides the feature-probing infrastructure. To assert a CPU
+ requirement, other packages can pre-depend on one of the individual
+ feature-specific packages:
+ .

+ (SIMD) instruction set extension.

+ SSE2 was an incremental upgrade to SSE intended to fully replace the earlier
+ MMX instruction set. It is available on processors from Pentium 4 onward,
+ including all 64-bit capable ones, but not on Pentium 3, Athlon XP, Via C3,
+ Quark, or older processors.
