You reported a better result in the first patch.

This looks like a really low speed up for a function that processes 
twice the amount of floats per loop.

Remove the fma4 check if you're not using it.

Have you tried to not use FMA for this and just keep the sub + mul even 
for AVX2 and see how it performs?

No need for this preprocessor check.

For they are tested on different baseline, I think it might be better to only compare these two values.

No problem. Avx2 flag is only initialized with fma3, so the fma4 is redundant indeed.

Yeah. Definitely. I have had sufficient tests before. The first version is kept sub + mul
for AVX2. After that, I keep trying to find a way out to speed up it further. Using FMA
here would be faster than sub + mul indeed, precisely, improving by 4%-10% approximately.
Not that much better, but still an optimal way I found at the present.

Got it. I’ll update it.

Thanks for your review.

I tried the checkasm test you wrote and when i made the AVX2 version use 
sub + mul instead of vfmsub231ps i noticed that i could change the 
epsilon value to FLT_EPSILON instead of 0.01f and the test would still 
succeed, meaning the output of the version using vfmsub231ps deviates a 
bit from the normal sub + mul one.

The speed up is pretty small, so it may be worth just using the sub + 
mul version instead.

Yeah. Small, but it’s not called just one time. Many a little makes a mickle, isn’t it?
I might be more prefer to keep this.
