Sure. In theory Skylake can deliver ~8uOPs per cycle in parallel.

Do they in real code?

No.

The Mill team claims (with no running general purpose code OR data of any sort) that they can. YMMV, but I bet Intel sleeps safe. Which sucks because I actually want innovation in computer architecture, which is a notoriously uninnovative industry, and the Mill has some genuinely good ideas, but I don't think they'll work here.

4 µop/cycle after fusion.
