Vector operations that perform the same fixed addition to each element, yes, but that's not really the same thing.

And yes I'm very much in agreement that the real power of recursive algorithms is when working with tree-like data structures.

Your question was, and I quote:

> is there actually any chipset with the algorithmic ability to add more than 2 numbers altogether in one operation (without having to store intermediate results)

I was just answering your question. I am not responsible for quality of your questions.

What you do is you posted a question but had something else in mind. You got an answer but that answer does not match the question you had in your mind so now you think it is ok to berate somebody for not being able to read your mind.

My understanding is those vector operations don't , in fact, add more than 2 numbers together, but rather simultaneously add lots of pairs of numbers. Happy to be corrected and no berating intended.
