The AVX-512 instruction set has had a bizarre history. Originally introduced with Intel's Xeon Phi processors based on the "Knights Landing" design, it later found its way into the company's server ...

Yesterday, developer of PS3 emulator RPCS3 Whatcookie posted a 20-minute YouTube video to their YouTube channel in defense of AVX-512, a maligned CPU instruction set that debuted with Intel's ...

Intel has clarified a misreported item on its own CPUs. Lower end Skylake-X CPUs have more AVX-512 performance available than we were told. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X (opens ...

In context: Advanced vector extensions are a type of "single instruction, multiple data" extension to the x86 instruction set architecture, implemented by Intel and AMD in modern CPUs. These ...

AMD "Zen 5" CPU microarchitecture will introduce a significant performance increase for AVX-512 workloads, with some sources ...

When Intel switched to a hybrid architecture with its 12th-Gen Alder Lake PUs, it removed AVX-512 support from the lineup entirely because the E-cores didn't support ...

It looks like 512-bit AVX instructions are set to make a comeback on Intel's consumer desktop CPUs. The first concrete evidence has appeared in the latest release of Intel's oneDNN library, which adds ...

In brief: Intel 12th Gen Core desktop processors never officially supported AVX-512, but we have workarounds to enable this instruction set. However, new firmware releases might render these methods ...

For the majority of workloads, fiddling with assembly instructions isn’t worth it. The added complexity and code obfuscation generally outweigh the relatively modest gains. Mainly because compilers ...
