* In computer graphics, pixel values for each color channel are often represented as uint8. Thus uint8x16 can be very useful when operating on pixel values (for instance, for [[SIMD/Uses/SAD |SAD]]). | |||
* In digital audio, some [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pcm PCM] formats store samples as uint8 values. Manipulating audio content stored in such a fashion may benefit from working with uint8x16. | |||
