For a normal chess engine, it just won't help at all. There are several slightly
unconventional ideas that might make use of these instructions.

One idea would be to use a neural net for the static eval function. This would
be a lot slower than the static evals most people use now, but if it was also
better, it might be ok. SSE or 3DNOW! would be quite helpful for making the
neural net calculations go faster, both when you run the program, and when you
do the very long, ofline, calculations to optimise the parameters.
