fixed point tutorial: so when you're multiplying or dividing, just cast your integer to the next size up so that the result will fit :)
me, googling: amazon com 128 bit x86 cpu
@eniko There is no #128bit #ix86 #CPU, it's not even specified.
AFAIK only #RISCV has an #ISA for 128bit and even that is still in #draft and not finalized with 0 #ASIC's produced that implement it.
@kkarhan yep that's the joke >_>
@kkarhan Anything can be stuffed into a SSE register if you're brave enough.
@pointingdevice @eniko the problem is that using #SSE instructions is that they require extensive knowledge and ain't easily used with assembly...
Granted all #ix86 / #amd64 - #CPU's of the last 15 years do #SSE2, all of the last 10 #SSE3 and all of the last 5 #SSE4.
