--- Comment #10 from Cy Schubert <cy@FreeBSD.org> ---
I see the difference between v2 and my v1 processors (+ features). My AMD
processors have all v2 features except SSE4.1 and SSE4.2. They have SSE4a,
introduced by AMD before Intel released its SSE4.1 and 4.2 standards.

I've said this before (in other places) and will say it again here: the
versioning used by Intel paints processors with broad strokes of the brush
where in fact features are more finely grained than that.

One can see one's processor "version" by cloning
https://github.com/HenrikBengtsson/x86-64-level.git and altering it a little to
run under FreeBSD. I simply loaded the linux kld and altered the script to read
/usr/compat/linux/proc/cpuinfo.
