   Returns SSE etc. support status
 
   The function returns true if certain hardware features are available.
-  Currently, the following features are recognized:
-  - CV_CPU_MMX - MMX
-  - CV_CPU_SSE - SSE
-  - CV_CPU_SSE2 - SSE 2
-  - CV_CPU_SSE3 - SSE 3
-  - CV_CPU_SSSE3 - SSSE 3
-  - CV_CPU_SSE4_1 - SSE 4.1
-  - CV_CPU_SSE4_2 - SSE 4.2
-  - CV_CPU_POPCNT - POPCOUNT
-  - CV_CPU_AVX - AVX
 
   \note {Note that the function output is not static. Once you called cv::useOptimized(false),
   most of the hardware acceleration is disabled and thus the function will returns false,
