[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] is_pentium3 is_pentium4 return bogus values on modern CPUs (Issue #2147)

[Bruno Pitrus]

More like 20. SSE2 was introduced in 2000.

While Linux distros have a long tradition of maintaining support for ancient / weird hardware, it would be really nice to be able to mark a specific package as requiring SSE or SSE2 because of hand-written assembly (the specific example i have in mind is Chromium). You can't do this rn and have to settle for “BuildArch: i686” to ensure it will install also on AMD/VIA/whatever.

Note also that while SUSE still supports the original i586, but the Fedora “i686” port is actually Pentium4 these days…
