Everything is rarely used until the instructions are ubiquitous.
- kjs3 5y agoBCD instructions were ubiquitous from the 8086 to the last x86-32 processor, but were so rarely used they weren't extended to 64-bits on x86-64 even though 'backward compatibility' was considered critical. So...probably more complicated.
