Your AI is flat wrong, or else is in a time warp from 1998. Next try asking it whether pets.com <http://pets.com/> would be a good investment. MMX was superseded almost immediately by SSE (and more recently AVX). It's still supported by modern CPUs for compatibility, but has hardly been used since the early 2000s. Trying to use it for speed optimization would not be helpful at all.
