Nonsense.  As well as the builtins already mentioned, GCC has
-ftree-vectorize which uses these SIMD instructions automatically when
the compiler can deduce that the aliasing rules allow it. Dot product
and matrix multiplication get a sizeable speed up when you use it.  
The 'restrict' keyword helps a lot, also
