Image processing, etc. stuff I sometimes write seems to benefit pretty linearly from wider SIMD registers, like in AVX2. It'd be useful to get up to a cache line wide SIMD registers. Cache line is the granularity memory subsystem works at anyways.

I wonder when cache line size will be increased from 64 to 128 bytes. Hopefully that wouldn't affect total number of lines, though. Mere 512 entries in L1D cache is already such a pain.
