Does final cut need SSSE3 instructions?

It would be really great if anybody can help me to find a solution for it.

Final Cut Studio 3 (Final Cut Pro 7 and etc) works in AMD, but you need to install the latest pro apps update (Download with Apple Sofware Updater, you will probably need to change the serial number)

Final Cut Pro X dosen't work with AMD, it will crash with SIGILL because of SSSE3
