> the Apollo core [...] has vector support also.

Interestingly, Apollo's AMMX SIMD instruction set appears to be an (enhanced) reimplementation of Intel's MMX SIMD instruction set, bearing the following implications:

"AMMX is the 68k version of the notorious MMX instruction set from INTEL. [...] AMMX does implement INTEL well known MMX instruction set. [...] the MMX operations are now also available on 68k [...]. If you are experience in coding MMX then you can use AMMX out of the box. [...] Both support the same type of operations. [...] MMX code can be compiled 1to1 to AMMX now [...]. [...] MMX code can now be run on AMIGA [...]. [...] AMMX implements many operants 100% like MMX."

Apparently, the original plan to use Intel's newer SSE SIMD instruction set didn't work out.
