@trimechee According to the data on the Intel ark website, your processor supports the avx2 instruction set and you can use the avx2 version

@gz83 @trimechee Yes, anything newer than 4th gen (processor number starting in 4, like i7 4790k, i5 4500, etc.) can use AVX2. On the AMD side, anything newer than 1st gen Ryzen will also have avx2
