runtime: disable prefetching on 386

qbit/go

mirror of https://github.com/golang/go synced 2024-11-18 00:54:45 -07:00

It doesn't seem to help on modern processors and it makes Go impossible to run
on Pentium MMX (which is the documented minimum hardware requirement.)

Old is with prefetch, new is w/o. Both are compiled with GO386=sse2.
Benchmarking is done on Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40GHz.
