    Probably slightly offtopic, how many generations of vector math instructions will there be in the next 20 years, when the bit count increases yet again ?

    Intel already has several different generations starting at SIMD and ARM also has a few. X86 will be a complete horror in another 20 years with all these generations.

      "when the bit count increases yet again".

      Maybe I lack imagination, but I doubt we'll be needing to address more than 18EB in personal computers for a while longer than 20 years.
