minus-squareJustin@lemmy.jlh.namelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-26 days agoAh fair enough, I figured that since the registers are 512 bit, that they’d support 512 bit math. It does look like you can load/store and do binary operations on 512-bit numbers, at least. Not much difference between 8x64 and 512 when it comes to integer math, anyways. Add and subtract are completely identical.
