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 ...

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 with Nova Lake. The update adds early support for AVX10.2 ...

With every new processor launch, the big focus is invariably on IPC. As a result, IPC becomes the focus for determining performance gains. However, other than pure IPC improvements, there are other ...

Intel has decided to fuse off AVX-512 on Alder Lake products. A Chipzilla spokesperson told Toms Hardware that although AVX-512 was not fuse-disabled on certain early Alder Lake desktop products, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Since before the Core series, Intel has alternated process node and architecture improvements. With each new architecture, there were often major changes and new instruction sets. One such instruction ...

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 ...

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 ...

The latest Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors feature extensions to the x86 instruction set for vectorization and other advanced optimizations. Vectorization – a single machine instruction operating ...
