by Zak Killian — Saturday, January 01, 2022, 11:17 AM EDT The saga of AVX-512 on Alder Lake has been an interesting one. Originally, folks reasonably assumed that the 12th-Gen Core processors would ...

Ever since the advent of the Multi-Media eXtensions, better known as "MMX," Intel has had a long history of tacking on instruction set extensions to add additional capabilities to its x86-family of ...

And that would be fused on a hardware level. Whilst AVX-512 was not officially supported on the chips, it was useable on Alder Lake on several motherboards. According to an unnamed source, AVX-512 has ...

Intel is bringing its AVX-512 instruction set to desktop CPUs with its upcoming Cannon Lake CPUs, but AVX-512 is a good deal more complex than previous SIMD sets, and its capabilities are distributed ...

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 ...

With a new microcode, Intel seems to be disabling and removing AVX-512 capabilities from Alder Lake CPUs. AVX-512 is currently only supported on Alder Lake through the use of a workaround. Intel does ...

AVX10.2 512b coming with Nova Lake A brief note in the latest oneDNN update confirms that Intel plans to bring back 512-bit AVX instructions to future desktop CPUs, most likely… AVX10.2 512b coming ...

Linux creator Linus Torvalds has expressed the hope that Intel's newly released AVX-512 extensions would "die a painful death" adding that the company should start "fixing real problems instead of ...

“With the Intel compilers, intrinsics are recognized and the instructions are generated in-line which is a tremendous advantage. Since the Intel Xeon Phi processor when using the AVX-512 intrinsics ...
