    What happens if you go from x86 to ARM or whatever? Do they have fallbacks or other separate implementations, then? I mostly do high level languages so I’m not that familiar with microoptimization.

      Looks like it’s also done for ARM. https://twitter.com/FFmpeg/status/1710970016777052326

      It would have to be different implementations for different architectures, and so almost definitely have a C-based fallback
