  Because you said that, according to Intel, x87 is obsolete and all code
is recommended to use SSE instead. If that's true, then it would be a
rather large setback for programs requiring trigonometric and logarithmic
calculations, as they would have to be made in software.

  I really don't see how SSE obsoletes x87.
