I'll translate: [14:37] < j-b> seriously, is that that hard to do .asm files instead of writing new intrinsincs? [15:47] < Daemon404> j-b, intrinsics are faster because they dont get reviewed. [15:47] < Daemon404> as opposed to Skyler_'s asm review [15:48] < Daemon404> i also love the arbitrary november date [15:49] < Daemon404> oh holy sad intrinsics spam... [15:50] < Daemon404> there's no way that isn't just copy/pasted bullshit. [16:08] < Daemon404> also [16:08] < Daemon404> arent these (copy/pasted?) intrinsics possibly going to be super crappy [16:08] < Daemon404> due to register allocation - Derek _______________________________________________ x265-devel mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.videolan.org/listinfo/x265-devel
