Yes, but how to obtain it ?

I only get around 60GFlops running at 5GHz, how do i set AVX ?

if you have the most recent linx, or IBT i am pretty sure it comes with all the necesary instruction sets...and it will automatically use the correct stuff.

are you using the most recent release?

AVX is Advanced Vector Extensions.

Here's where to get LinX that supports (or has?) AVX:

If you're a Windows user, then Windows 7 SP1 is required.

Note: LinX 0.6.4 does not have or support AVX.

To get the latest Intel linpack libraries, download the Windows version from this page.

Then extract linpack_xeon32.exe and linpack_xeon64.exe from /linpack_(version number)/benchmarks/linpack into your LinX folder. If you are using IntelBurnTest, you need to rename it to the ones in the folder.

If you prefer Intel Burn Test, then just get IBT with AVX here:
