He was probably scanning elements that were larger than int32s, even on a 2013 this code would run at Gib/s.

The point of my benchmark was that C is nowhere near 50-100x faster than Go and that the user I'm replying to shouldn't make unsubstantiated claims like that.

My claim that the trivial C code is 100x faster than the number from the article is a) well substantiated b) all there is c) perfectly clear.
