        What is sse2?

        It’s an instruction set for CPU’s, pretty much all cpus nowadays have at least SSE2, even my 7 year old laptop (from core 2 duo era) has SSE3

              I tested the miner on my laptop (Pentium T4400 @ 2.2GHz):

              INT: appears to be the old engine (gets same hashrate etc), 4.4kh/s

              SSE2: a little bit faster, causes my laptop to heat up a lot more, 4.8kh/s

              SSE2-4way: even faster, not as hot as SSE2, 5.8kh/s

              Also on my desktop (i7-3770K @ 4.0GHz):

              INT: again appears default, 27kh/s

              SSE2: not much improvement, 28kh/s

              SSE2-4way: a bit better, 31kh/s

              it seems that the sse2 and sse2-4way engines helps alot with older cpus which do not have as much number crunching power

                Thanks GhostLander!WoW! I had never seen a CPU hash faster than a GPU!

                By the way, why do old graphics cards hash so badly with neominers? I have a 5970 (and everybody knows it is not a bad one) and it can barely reach 26 kh/s with two cores. Is there hope that this will be fixed?

                  NeoScrypt CPUminer updated to v2.4.1, up to 50% performance increase.

                  NeoScrypt CPUminer at Cryptocointalk

                  Worked great here for me once I understood the flag setup to use. I saw about the same results as was posted earlier.

                  Great work! Thank you!
