You have several rather peculiar SIMD instructions that reflect 
the specifics of the CPU pipeline that can shave off quite a few 
cycles for specific algorithms. Different CPUs have different 
penalties for alignments, ARM can do rather well with 
misalignments. Different CPUs have different primitives, e.g. on 
ARM complex functions like sincos can be broken down into simpler 
primitives, so you can do less exact calculations (fewer 
iterations than on x86).
