Timespy No CPU Score on AM3-CPUs /wo SSSE3 Support

We're discussing internally what to do about this. Problem of course is that any modification to the test - even a fallback like this for very old CPUs - has to go through a process with the Benchmark Development Program members, so if there is a fix (no promises yet, no decisions have been made), it will take several weeks minimum.

Also the programmers did state that if there is a fallback for the code that uses SSSE3, it will be terribly slow. The CPU load in that test is so complicated that the "offending" code bit would, modified for older CPUs if no SSSE3 support is present, have to go through a path that would take minimum three times as many assembly commands, plus extra memory access.

Originally it was designed like this with the decision that the test would be horribly unfair to processors without SSSE3 as the workload would be so different on those old CPUs.

I would appreciate Support for those CPUs.
With DX12 and Vulkan and todays PS4/XOne the importance of the CPU seems to be smaller than ever. The Graphictests in Timespy run quite well on X4/X6 CPUs combined with a powerful GPU.
