## Byte-swapping Pipe
-per source and dest operand, 320 gates required. if two source operands (ALU pipeline, Logical pipeline) this totals 960 gates (per Function Unit). 3 operands (madd) is 1280 gates.
+per source and dest operand, 320 gates required. if two source operands (ALU pipeline, Logical pipeline) this totals 960 gates (per Function Unit). 3 operands (madd) is 1280 gates. for an estimated 50 Function Units this totals around 50,000 gates.
