Yes, regular computers have had SIMD for decades. Ex: Intel was SSE and now AVX. Fancier servers will have the same, except maybe wider and some other tricks.

Yes, regular computers have had SIMD for decades. Ex: Intel was SSE and now AVX. Fancier servers will have the same, except maybe wider and some other tricks. If you go down the vectorization path, unless you are a crufty CPU DB vendor, I'd skip ahead to GPU for the same. Ecosystem is built to do the same but faster and easier. CPU makers are slowly changing to look more like GPUs, so just skip ahead...
