Does any of these new vector instruction sets that only differ from the previous one fir the width of the operands still allow for a new patient to be filed?

- rrss 6y agoI would guess yes, but don't really have any idea. To clarify, though, the changes introduced in newer SIMD extensions are rarely just a width increase. AVX-512, for example, increased the width from 256-bit to 512-bit, but also brought some substantial programmability improvements.
- xiphias2 6y agoMaybe it's true, but as it can decrease the clock rate, I would never use it, because it completely destroys the predictability of runtime. Linus was quite angry about it for a good reason.
