Run on Phenom processor (Assassin's Creed: Valhalla)

Do you need SSE 4.1, SSE 4.2 and AVX instructions for the game as in the previous parts of the series?

Obviously yes. I see no point in not adding instructions in the new parts, if they are in the previous ones. Nowhere without them

So the insult is that you can easily do without them. This is like a personal feature of Yubikov. Take Wolfenstein The New Colossus as an example, until they were sent to GOG, I can't play because of the instructions, then they were removed and I went through it on my Phenome without any problems at all. (I know that the percentage is already old, garbage, etc., but litter, I still use what I have and I still think it is quite productive). Where instructions are not needed, we pull with a bang.

Wolf was protected ("Dunka" etc.)? - if yes, perhaps the instructions (SSE 4.1 / 4.2, or AVX) were used not in the game itself, but in defense. Before the release in GOG, the protection was removed (they have a rule there - all games are unprotected), and that's why I made money on Fenome.
Yubiki (and some other publishers) shove Denuvo into all their more or less new games (often with VMProtect in addition), who most likely use these instructions. Most likely as an additional "protection from the poor", such as if there is no money for new hardware, the game will most likely not be bought, but spun. Hackers in most cases simply bypass the protection and it remains in the game. If I’m not mistaken, the "craftsmen" once did "cut it out" from some game, but rather an exception - they do not do this all the time (apparently too gemorno).
It happens that over time igrodels themselves remove protection (sometimes "quiet"), even without release in another store (like GOG) - then it is necessary to check whether the game is running on the CPU without such instructions. It's easy to notice, usually pirates immediately update their repacks to a version without protection - if you regularly check distributions on trackers, you can see right away.

And why should the processor not "pull" - if the performance allows, the budget will work. In recent years, nothing has fundamentally changed in the "home" segment - basically, they gradually increase the CPU performance, the number of cores / threads, add new instructions, change sockets, etc.
