The x86 and x86-64 architectures can have Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE), SSE2, SSE3, MMX, and 3DNow! instruction sets. These are useful primarily in multimedia, gaming, and other floating point-intensive computing tasks, though they also contain several other mathematical enhancements. These instruction sets are found in more modern CPUs.
