AMD E-350 processor reported as not PopCnt capable but it is according to hwi_803_5445

[karakarga07]

Hello,
I have used your program to test PopCnt capability on my old AMD E-350 processor. It has SSE4A according to CPU-Z.
WhyNotWinAl tested and said, 'not capable' with red markings. But, latest build hwi_803_5445.exe showed it has PopCnt commands.

Your program currently seems not much efficient in testing PopCnt instructions!

Latest Note: But, I have just tried to install USB boot prepared with Rufus "Win11.24h2.26100.1.Germanium-X64-EN-US.ISO" it failed! :( Thus maybe hwinfo gives wrong info....

I finally wished to run setup over Windows 10 operating system, ticked setup.exe it said a critical feature of SSE4.2 is missing! It did not mention anything about SSE4A! Maybe it needs minimum AMD processor with SSE4.2 like Intel. In that case compatible AMD processors starts from Bulldozer architecture, for example FX-8150 etc.

Another Note: AMD Phenom x4 9950 Quad Core processor also failed on Asus Crosshair mainboard for the PopCnt test! This CPU has at most SSE4A instructions. My attempts to boot for Win11 24h2 from USB drive failed. It waited and waited, nothing happened, only blue Windows logo was present! It seems that WhyNotWinAl program works correctly!

Over Windows 10 operating system it rejected upgrade again, it said:.

-X- This PC's processor doesn't support a critical feature (SSE4.2).
-X- The PC must support TPM 2.0.
-X- The PC must support Secure Boot.
-X- The processor isn't supported for this version of Windows.
