> it's still a strict upgrade over AVX2

If you benchmark it, it will be slower about half the time.

for the simplest cases it will be about the same speed as avx2, but if you're trying to do anything fancy, the extra registers and instructions are a godsend.

  • Well, try it out for a realistic program.

    It makes for nice looking code, yes. But is often slower (for various reasons that are well understood by now).
