Oh, okay.

AVX is for now an Intel only Instruction set and you only get any profit from it by running games in software mode, since that's the strong suite of that specific Instruction Set.

AVX is supported on the newer AMD FX chips.

That's why I'm typing for now I know that the x300 FX from AMD also have AVX

AMD got AVX instruction set support ever since Bulldozer, basically. Intel is currently on AVX 2, and will move to AVX 3.2 soon.

Wow I didn't know there was something above AVX2 already. Lol it seems like since AMD finally caught up to their instruction set they are like "Well, time for some new ones!"
