Re: Can it spout out two 64 bit results every clock cycle?

I don't know for sure. But a "vector" processor that can't output more than one result per cycle isn't a vector processor by the definition I'm familiar with.

I think that Altivec unit is SIMD, so it should be applying an instruction to multiple data values each cycle - and outputting multiple results.
