j7n Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Old computers have already been left behind by the raw CPU power required by modern websites regardless of the browser, and the hunger for memory of multi-process Chrome. A Conroe CPU is about the oldest that can be comfortably used, and it implements SSE3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erpdude8 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 it's not just Google Chrome alone that will require CPUs with at least SSE3 Microsoft Edge is also following suit with the SSE3 requirement starting with Edge version 126 https://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-is-ending-edge-support-on-computers-without-sse3/ https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-supported-operating-systems Quote After version 126, Microsoft Edge will stop supporting CPUs that lack SSE3. Devices with these CPUs will not receive any more updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixel Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Edge is based on Chromium and closely follows the upstream changes, so no wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixel Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 It's safe to emulate a processor instruction set, it's just a programme, but emulation is much slower than native execution so you probably won't like the performance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
