The advertised use case for dual addc instructions is big integer
operations. I read that somewhere in the Intel docs several years ago.

When I benchmarked ADCX/ADOX several years ago, ADCX/ADOX were slower
than using a single ADDC. So I stayed with ADDC. Maybe cpu
manufacturers have improved things nowadays.
