..........do I really need to go over why this isn't true again?

They can provide a very small speed up in specific cases (barely noticeable). Not enough to talk about, but hey it's worth a shot.

AFAIK Dolphin only goes up to SSE2 (which is why it's required to run it). Does it support SSE4.2?

Yes, and it's enabled by default.

??? Awesome! Explanation accepted.

Sounds nice. In combination with other ICC instructions...

ICC instructions?

I think he's talking about the IMS instruction, which stands for Icc Magic Speedup. Unfortunately it doesn't work quite well and just maps to a NOP on current-gen CPUs.
