 What's new in 1.16
 ==================
+Special thanks to unknownbrackets for the new JIT compilers, and fp64 for finally cracking the vrnd instruction.

 - RetroAchievements support ([#17589], [#17631], many more). See [RetroAchievements on ppsspp.org](https://www.ppsspp.org/docs/reference/retro-achievements).
 - New JIT backends:
-  - RISC-V, based on IR, by unknownbrackets
-  - x86 based on IR, by unknownbrackets. May end up faster than the existing one.
+  - RISC-V, based on IR
+  - x86 JIT based on IR. May end up faster than the existing one, already at parity.
 - Input fixes
   - Improve behavior when analog and digital inputs clash ([#17960])
