Posted: (EET/GMT+2)

 

You've without doubt heard about DirectX, the graphics and gaming library. However, DirectX also contains a math-oriented subset, which is simply called DirectXMath. Version 3.10 was recently made available, and this new release contains support for Intel's latest SSE3 instruction set, bringing even more performance out from latest desktop and laptop machines.

The SSE3 codepaths (as they are called) can be enabled with the opt-in _XM_SSE3_INTRINSICS_ define. This new support should bring lots of new performance for newest CPU generations, so be sure to use it, when needed!
