This AMD Athlon processor needs to be changed here and the 3 other places it shows up. From what I'm seeing on techpowerup here, and on wikipedia here, it doesn't support SSE4.2.

Not sure why this space was added here and in other places, but it broke the table.

.. note::

If your x86_64 CPU does not support SSE4.2, you can still run the 32-bit Godot
executable which only has a SSE2 requirement (all x86_64 CPUs support SSE2).

While supported on Linux, we have no official minimum requirements for running on
rv64 (RISC-V), ppc64 & ppc32 (PowerPC), and loongarch64. In addition you must
compile the editor for that platform (as well as export templates) yourself,

Was this an accidental change? "Compiling instructions" is correct.

Vulkan drivers for these Windows versions are known to have issues with
memory leaks. As a result, it's recommended to stick to the Compatibility
renderer when running Godot on a Windows version older than 10.
