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 ...

When Intel introduced Alder Lake in November 2021, it marked the first time performance cores (P-cores, Golden Cove) and power-efficient cores (E-cores, Gracemont) were brought together in a hybrid ...

Intel’s Nova Lake could finally make AVX-512 useful on consumer chips by giving P-cores and E-cores matching support. Hot Hardware reports that the groundwork appeared in November, when Intel released ...

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 ...

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 ...

After recently proposing x86S 64-bit only CPUs, Intel today introduces AVX10 which brings AVX-512 to its E-cores as well. The company is also debuting a new APX ISA that doubles GPRs. It looks like ...
