What, you don't have a special command to Compare Unsigned values in register C vs result register K? or Floating-point Addition with Parenthesis, so store the value for use on the next cycle?

Just don't work there, seems like a company run by idiots

STEP 1: find company run by idiots

STEP 2: get them to give me a remote job

STEP 3: barely work at all

STEP 4: get second remote job and collect 2 paychecks

I'm pretty sure fused add multiply with store is part of the AVX instruction set.
