Benchmark prints a "neon" result (presumably SSE) on an x86 machine about xsimd HOT 4 CLOSED

That... was a different bug! 🤕 Will teach me to write descriptions in my tickets...

The bug which I am actually observing is that when running "make/ninja xbenchmark" on my Haswell-based machine, a pair of "neon" rows is present in the table of timings, even though this CPU certainly has no neon instructions available.

It is not fixed by the patch which you have merged today.

I am curious about this issue too, but there is still no answer after 1 year?
Here is xsimd_benchmark's output, which shows neon rows, even though it is on x86 machine.

Yep, this is very strange. This isssue fell between the cracks as it was closed by mistake.

We no longer have the issue, and I took this issue as an opportunity to cleanup becnhmark display a bit, cf. #876
