Not really, Intel Celeron/Pentium/Atom (apollo lake) that was made in the last decade does not have AVX. These CPUs were very popular for low-cost, low-tdp quad-core machines such as Intel NUC mini PC.

Edit. Furthermore, i think that none of these (pre-2020) low budget CPUs support AVX2, until Tiger lake released in 2020.

I think the last Intel CPUs that didn't support AVX were 10th gen (Comet Lake) Pentiums and Celerons, released in 2019.

Edit: That's wrong. Jasper Lake from 2021 also came without AVX support.
