You're probably right if you phrase it that way, since x86 asm gets extended so much every few years, and is quite a big mess overall, but my point was that I've been using it for many years and I may not know SSSE3 instructions that well, or know the ins and outs of VT-x, but you don't need those for general purpose x86 asm coding, and it's not hard to look them up in the Intel manuals when you need to use them.
