LINQ codepaths are only getting faster. A literal army of engineers is focused on this stuff full time.

> dotnet/runtime#64470 is the result of analyzing various real-world code bases for use of Enumerable.Min and Enumerable.Max, and seeing that it’s very common to use these with arrays, often ones that are quite large. This PR updates the Min<T>(IEnumerable<T>) and Max<T>(IEnumerable<T>) overloads when the input is an int[] or long[] to vectorize the processing, using Vector<T>. The net effect of this is significantly faster execution time for larger arrays, but still improved performance even for short arrays (because the implementation is now able to access the array directly rather than going through the enumerable, leading to less allocation and interface dispatch and more applicable optimizations like inlining).

What are the chances that you'd have patience to write a competitive bug-free SIMD implementation?

Games in C# might be written in Unity, and a lot of those improvements wouldn't apply there. So in that context this might be accurate because it's an entirely different runtime.
