Hello- I have an Acer ASE380-UD440A.. I am sorting out the AMD
processors online mostly via the WIkipedia article.. I am pretty sure
I have this Brisbane
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103213

the wikipedia article and others say I have sse3 on this chip.. BUT
here is /proc/cpuinfo
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge
mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ht sys call nx mmxext
fxsr_opt rdtscp lm 3dnowext 3dnow pni cx16 lahf_lm cmp_legacy svm
extapic cr8_legacy misalignsse

What is the real story? I am keen on sse3 (more on that later)
thanks
-Brian

I don't have it on this A64x2:
processor : 0
vendor_id : AuthenticAMD
cpu family : 15
model : 75
model name : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4600+
....

Does "Brisbane" refer to the core (like "Barton") and not to the family
(like "Athlon")? If so, I don't know what this is. Hang on, here's the
box ... nope, doesn't say.

Isn't pni an alias for sse3? I know my Core2 has sse3, and
/proc/cpuinfo doesn't mention sse3 here either.

aha!
thats what I was looking for.. it seems that is true - a quick Google
search returns some good looking results.
Thanks! (very confusing)

also - yes, Brisbane is the core.. Athlon 64 X2 4400+ is the name of
the chip I believe, but the name 4400+ is repeated at least 4
times !! (very confusing)
