Dude... I'm a greybeard game engine developer. I write game engine critical loops using SIMD intrinsics. https://old.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/xddlp/describe_wha...

These AI slop accusations are getting redic. Is the problem that I was too through in my response? :P Comes from decades of explaining bespoke tech to artists.

And, the writer of the "wrong and misleading" article I linked was the Lead Graphics Programmer of Unity3D for 15 years! XD

Well, the response really sounded unnatural and llm-ey. If it's not then please take my apology.

I write SIMD kernels and the conclusion drawn in the article makes no sense regardless of the fact who wrote it. I don't doubt the observations made in experiments but the hypothesis that the SIMD is slowing down the code.

The actual answer is in the disassembly but unfortunately it wasn't shown.
