The costs of dropping SIMD are low in the space of game development. Preserving simplicity and having a broad target audience is the more future proof reboot that is required for the unknowns ahead.

I bet if we did a hard analysis, SIMD benefits benchmarks.

Games that do juice the hardware to perfection, cannot port to alternative hardware with that same experience.

I do find uses for applications with SIMD. I think LLVM is a great way to provide a comparable for those that want A B comparison of with and without SIMD.
