Edit: Oh, thanks for the downvote, with no discussion of the question. I'll just sit here quietly with my commercial OpenCL software that happily exploits these vector units attached to the normal CPU cores.
I’m not sure who downvoted; I think it isn’t possible to downvote a response to one’s comment.
I did decide not to engage because “you mean like <very common well known thing>” seemed a bit brusque and dismissive, commenting on this site is just for fun, so I don’t really see the point in continuing a conversation that seems like it is getting off on the wrong foot.
