<pedantic> I think physical registers is a better term than temporary registers, I don't know what other people think?

Jaguar treats 1 ymm logical as (upto) 2 x 128-bit physical entries - real world perf effect is minimal, but it does mean that it performs (upto) 2 read/writes into the PRF. 128-bit physicals that are known zero don't take up an PRF entry and the read/write should be quicker.
