AVX registers will also be saved/restored on thread switches, but that doesnt mean they are part of base spec. They are an optional extension which is fully implemented.

It's not part of stock x86-64. I believe it is offered as an extension on x86-64. I haven't tried using it though.

People who know better avoid it like plague.

what about MS Office?

If Atom 2.0 or 3.0 is good enough, then yes, the consumer market will converge to that. There is a reason tablets are selling like hot cakes and PCs are crashing.

Like what?

Which sw? I going to guess whatever it is, it's not a consumer product.

They dont offer more performance because the consumer market doesn't need them.

Too high latency. Every page fault kicks to the kernel. This is not a solution to any real problem. Much better to batch up the stuff and do a single copy call.
