As another example, this morning I needed to perform a small convolution in an inner loop. Since I'm targeting x64 under the msvc compiler I can't write an external assembly function and have it inlined into the inner loop. Therefore I was left with just using the raw intrinsics from intrin.h for like, 10 lines of code. The simplicity of the convolution means the compiler will have no problems generating optimal code.
