On: AMD's Bulldozer server benchmarks are here, and they're a catastrophe

since most the time you'd want to use the 256-bit vector instructions

There are no 256-bit integer vector instructions on x86, and AVX is slower than SSE on Bulldozer.

Sad but true...You can issue SIMD instructions on 4 doubles at once though (and put whatever you want in those 16 registers)....
