Here's a possibility to try -

https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#numpy

"NumPy: a fundamental package needed for scientific computing with Python.

Numpy+MKL is linked to the Intel® Math Kernel Library and includes
required DLLs in the numpy.DLLs directory.

Numpy+Vanilla is a minimal distribution, which does not include any
optimized BLAS libray or C runtime DLLs."

I didn't realize that Christoph Gohlke is still maintaining this site. I 
haven't needed to use it since PyPi got so much more complete about 
packages with binary code. He has tons of binary packages for all kinds 
of Python libraries.  I think this one might work for you because it 
links to the Intel math library. So it may be able to use various or no 
instruction set extensions. If so, it could work with your old processor.

Worth trying, anyway.
