On x86 the MOV instruction is Turing complete. Just saying.

In that line of thinking wouldn’t LEA be a better choice? Note I’m not minimalizing to that extreme, only dropping cruft for something more efficient. The design guarantees a pre-load of the branch target as early as it can be done. Dig into it deeply and it start to make sense
