Yes, and the set of intrinsics supported by MSVC is really lacking. On x64, this left no way to force a conditional move to bypass a poorly predictable branch, nor was there a way to access carry-extended operations until recently. On ARM64, it doesn't have complete coverage of scalar intrinsics for operations like RBIT (reverse bit order).
