gollark: If you really want to do things on MANY integers, apparently recent Nvidia architectures can even do 4-bit integer operations.
gollark: Fascinating.
gollark: According to this very trustworthy table, it actually does have unreasonably vast amounts of throughput.
gollark: It's a shame they haven't backported the apparently nice-to-program bits of AVX-512 to AVX2, just without the whole 512-bits thing.
gollark: I assume it's because they didn't put it in the E-cores because big register file or something.
