		nkurz on Dec 16, 2018 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Firefox 64 built with GCC and Clang Well, AVX does explicitly add 256-bit integer loads and stores: https://software.intel.com/sites/landingpage/IntrinsicsGuide.... And some of the Boolean operations can be quite useful on integers. So even for integers, I was definitely wrong to characterize AVX as 128-bit.

Also AVX has shuffles which are interesting for integer code.
