There is a lot of applications beyond crypto that depend on an integer performance. Even in graphics, not just scientific/engineering compute.
- magicalist 10y agosure, but if you're not integer performance bound, which most graphics work won't be, it doesn't usually matter.
- sklogic 10y agoYet, a lot of stuff beyond crypto depends solely on an integer performance + memory bandwidth. Graphics included. 2D image processing is better done in integer or a fixed point.

- sklogic 10y agoHPC included. A whole lot of simulations fits well into a fixed point.
