    Ah fair enough, I figured that since the registers are 512 bit, that they’d support 512 bit math.

    It does look like you can load/store and do binary operations on 512-bit numbers, at least.

    Not much difference between 8x64 and 512 when it comes to integer math, anyways. Add and subtract are completely identical.
