AVX: List of CPUs incomplete
-
Since the thread is now locked:
I believe the list of CPUs supporting AVX is incomplete; e.g. Intel's N-Series (e.g. N100 / N200; very interesting due to their low power consumption) does not appear in the list but supports AVX: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/231803/intel-processor-n100-6m-cache-up-to-3-40-ghz.html
This list seems more comprehensive: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Vector_Extensions#CPUs_with_AVX

My understanding is most reasonable CPUs these days have AVX . So far, I am aware only of netcup having some very old servers without AVX support. Don't think we have seen any other provider without AVX.

Then my Intel Celeron N3000 in my NUC has definitively reached the status "unreasonable"
- I might actually be forced to replace my NUC. -
@necrevistonnezr oh wow, that was released only in 1 April 2015 . I wonder what research went into MongoDB's requirement of AVX.
BTW, one potential idea is that we run the platform without mongodb on non-AVX CPUs. So, apps that need mongodb cannot be installed. Technically, this is possible but we haven't considered this because we always thought AVX support is common by now.

@girish Don't go into too much trouble if mine is just a fringe case. The little machine has been running 24/7 since - indeed - 2015 (without giving me much trouble) but I'd like to replace at some point in time, in any event, just to pre-empt a hardware failure....

Is there already a list, what apps are affected?
(my netcup VPS 500 G10s does not support AVX)
