I am not a CPU expert but I think it is SSE3 made the difference in my case:
image worked in Athlon64X2 while it didn't in Pentium-M.

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSSE3, SSSE3 doesn't make to AMD
chips.

I don't know how to do test but found
http://www.anandtech.com/show/1618, obviously it
didn't test Inter CPU esp. Atom.
Does it make much difference?

>If ATOM benefits so heavily from SSSE3 instructions, how does ARM keep up.

ARM is RISC so that it doesn't provide more and more instructions for some
purposes like CISC chip. According to my experience, armv5 is good enough
for most ARM chip with very good backward compatibility and VFP boosts the
performance for floating point operation like 3D.

Thanks.
