Yeah I did see that the S3 was meant to have SIMD but with basically no developer support for it (I guess till now?)
I was looking at doing some hardware image processing for a project (which I still haven't properly started) and looked at an S3 (too weak even with SIMD) to a Gowin FPGA (cheaper than the competition but FPGAs still seemed like a time sink learning HDL or VHDL) and then I ended up picking a pi zero 2, of which the Videocore IV has great SIMD which is now fully documented.
Only problem is that I _still_ haven't started the project even though I have parts sitting there. Was definitely tough trying to consider what the best option might be for processing high speed (90-120fps) video frames.
