That's cool! I just read about AltiVec, never programmed with these instructions. Looks like it's (almost?) 1:1 translation.

Its byte permutation function is more powerful than what we are used to. It has also other neat things that were clearly ahead of their time. I think it is more powerful than 2007-era SSE.

But yeah, it is nothing strange or exotic today.
