AVX is one of the latest extensions to the x86 architecture, it's incredibly flexible and uses massive 256 bit registers called YMM0 to YMM15.
I'm going to try to include some coding at the end of all the tutes in the interest of keeping them practical. We'll not depart completely from SSE but rather build techniques that can be used in AVX as well as SSE, this way folks without these CPU's can still follow the tutes.
It's only available on the newest CPU's so we'll detect support for it at the end of the tute.
Thank you for responding to my question about where we might explore in future tutorials (on the Facebook page), you people are the greatest!
