jinak na vysvetleni ankety pouzijeme AMD Optimization Guide:
All instructions (x86, x87, 3DNow!", and MMX" instructions) are classified into two types of decodes DirectPath and VectorPath (see DirectPath Decoder and VectorPath Decoder under Early Decoding on page 207 for more information). DirectPath instructions are common instructions that are decoded directly in hardware. VectorPath instructions are more complex instructions that require the use of a sequence of multiple operations issued from an on-chip ROM.
Up to three DirectPath instructions can be selected for decode per cycle. Only one VectorPath instruction can be selected for decode per cycle. DirectPath instructions and VectorPath instructions cannot be simultaneously decoded.
z cehoz plyne, vyhejbat se VectorPath instrukcim.
a jeste poznamka v manualech Intelu jsou zazite jine terminy, ktere ale maji naprosto stejny vyznam - simple instruction, complex instruction.
