Examples
A homogeneous processor system typically requires extra registers for "special instructions" such as SIMD (MMX, SSE, etc.), while a heterogeneous system can implement different types of hardware for different instructions/uses.
An OS that is aware of SSE will activate Enhanced mode, whereas an unaware OS will only enter into traditional Protected mode.
Centrica’s rival, Perth-based SSE, saw its retail arm snapped up by one of the smaller challengers, Ovo Energy, which only entered the market a decade ago.
In QuickTime 7.3, a processor that supports SSE is required.
However, the new XMM register-file allowed SSE SIMD-operations to be freely mixed with either MMX or x87 FPU ops.
However, since processor support for any SSE revision also implies support for MMX, the removal does not limit the data types usable by x86 SIMD.
