Dinosaur?!
The 1090 X6 is a better CPU than more recent low budget models like the FX 4300 or a i3 4100.
The X6 lacks modern instructions like SSSE3 and SSE4.1, which are often used by new games.
At the Ubisoft site people are complaining about this. There is the possibility that it will work with an upcoming patch or it got patched recently.

SSE 4.1 WAS the issue. Runs fine now on Phenom II - No Man's Sky

One would have to be desperate and there is no guarantee it would work.

Ubsoft already stated, that there is noting to be patched, as Phenom II CPUs are under minimum requirements

“Thank you for reaching Ubisoft Customer Support. My name is Manuel and I will be assisting you with your case.

I am sorry to bear these news, but your system is below the minimum system requirements for Assassin’s Creed: Origins. Please see this link – http://blog.ubi.com/assassins-creed-…ents-revealed/ – for reference.

I understand this was not the solution you were looking for and I want to apologize for the inconvenience caused and thank you for your comprehension and patience in this matter.

Please let me know if I can assist you with anything else. I will be here to help you if you need.”

Did you even click on the link!!

It is that the CPU's do not have the feature 'Streaming SIMD Extensions 4' and the code in AC:O requires it (game code or DRM code/implementation).

It also is possible that the reason is down to the DRM.

It seems that some games with Denuvo DRM and also had the SSE (below the minimum system requirements?) issue were patched. Seems the same (below the minimum system requirements) CPUs can play the games now.

I wonder, because the VMProtect DRM is more invasive into AC:O's code then Denuvo, then maybe a patch is not even an option because of how the DRM works. And the last people they would tell is us the customers. After all, we are only talking about 5% of people.

Your link was quite informative and indicates publishers can deal with the SSE issue by patch, so what is the real reason for UbiSoft?

And if patched, I suspect the CPU would meet at leasat minimum requirements.

Ubisoft answer was clear, there will be no patch to support hardware witch is under minimum requirements.

You do like to repeat. Kinda like a drone.

Here are some more UbiSoft 'said' that you can quote:
