Why is it still called SIMD-accelerated, if these are now just normal instructions. You just have to take a little bit more effort into restructuring your algorithms to make use of them.
How does using instructions that operate on multiple data elements, which make your software 3 times faster, not fit the definition of SIMD-accelerated?
What does "normal" have to do with it? SIMD means single instruction, multiple data, which is how these instructions are designed.
