While the groundwork for this was technically laid back in November when Intel released GCC patches (following our earlier reporting), a major new piece of the puzzle has just surfaced. Those patches ...

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 ...

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 ...

It looks like Intel is adding back AVX-512 support to its client CPUs starting from the upcoming Nova Lake desktop lineup.

Intel Nova Lake CPUs are expected to bring AVX-512 back to Intel’s consumer processor lineup, marking an important change ...

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 ...

Intel has finally defended its AVX-512 instruction set against critics who have gone so far as to wish it to die “a painful death.” Intel Chief Architect Raja Koduri said the community loves it ...

Linux kernel creator Linus Torvalds hopes to see the end of Intel's 512-bit vector extensions and admits he has an "irrational hatred" of the floating-point (FP) benchmarks used to prove their value.

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 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 ...

Back in June, y-Cruncher developer Alexander Yee criticized Intel's decision to remove AVX-512 (Advanced Vector Extensions 512) from its 12th Gen (Alder Lake) and newer CPUs, calling it "a huge step ...
