Board with intel core i7 950, looking for other processor which supports AVX

[us]

I have a Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 950 @ 3.07GHz (8 CPUs), ~3.1GHz in my Gamer PC. For Dual Universe, i need a processor which supports AVX. Is there any processor which supports AVX which i can change directly against the intel core i7 950? (same socket and so on, i hope there is one)

Thanks for your Informations

No, too old platform. https://www.codingame.com/playgrounds/283/sse-avx-vectorization/what-is-sse-and-avx

Nope. That instruction set extension didn't come out for two years after that CPU was released. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Vector_Extensions
You need at least 2xxx or 3xxx series CPU (Sandy Bridge or better).

May be i can change it against the Intel I5 6600K Prozessor. i am not sure that's the same socket. The i5 needs the 1151 socket, but i don´t know which socket is in the i7 CPU 950.

Your motherboard doesn't support newer CPUs. You will have to change motherboard & CPU. If you want to use a 6600K you would also have to change RAM.

Yes, that´s it!
