Description

  • How do I check the set of instruction extensions for my Intel processor?
  • How do I check for SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AVX, AVX2, or AVX-512?

Resolution

The Intel Instruction Set Extensions are additional instructions that can increase performance when the same operations are performed on multiple data objects. These can include SSE (Streaming SIMD Extensions) and AVX (Advanced Vector Extensions).

View the options listed below.

Option 1: Using the Intel® Processor Identification Utility

Follow steps below:

  1. Install and launch the Intel® Processor Identification Utility
  2. Click CPU TECHNOLOGIES.
  3. View Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions field; if checked then the technology is supported.
  4. View all SSEs instructions that are available and supported in the system.

See the example below.

Option 2: Using the Intel® Product Specification Page

This information is available on the Product Specification page.

Follow the steps below:

  1. Identify your Intel® Processor, or the processor you need to find the information for.
  2. Visit the product specification page.
  3. Enter the Intel processor number in the Search Intel.com field located upper-right corner.
  4. Click the processor's link on the search results page.
  5. Once you are on the processor specification page, click Specifications section.
  6. Click Advanced Technologies.
  7. Look up the information under Instruction Set Extensions.

Here is an example using Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 Processor 165U
