gollark: AMD and Intel CPUs have for some time been JITing x86 into internal RISC microcode.

gollark: Wrong. The ISA is old, but the microarchitectures of high-performant x86 CPUs are absolutely not ancient. They internally do a ton of optimization tricks to pretend to execute code in order with flat undifferentiated memory as fast as possible, even though the CPU is executing things out of order and aggressively caching and prefetching.

gollark: However, you can just not use it and will probably save a lot of time and segfaults.

gollark: Performant because it contorted the design of all modern CPUs to fit its model, useful because all the low-level APIs use it.
