What is interesting here is that in their current implementation they aren&#x27;t very beneficial [1] and [2].

(recommends these instructions to be used outside of main loop) I remember vaguely that first implementations of scatter/gather instructions were not faster than sequential access from different memory registers. And, thusly, it may come handly that AMD has much bigger core count because each thread will have…</p><p><a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1806.05713/">Paper and discussion history</a>.
