Just to clarify, when Kayvon said we can multiply by 2, is it because at each clock cycle, we can do 2 operations (a mult-add) at the same time? Is there any reason why this is true?

^ Could it be that there exists a single instruction that allows for a multiply-add operation in one clock cycle?

Yeah, I believe the operation you two are referring to is the multiply-accumulate operation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiply–accumulate_operation
