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 ...

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 ...

As contentious as the topic is among certain enthusiasts, for the most part, the presence or absence of 512-bit-wide vectors in Intel's desktop CPUs is a largely academic consideration. Very little ...

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 ...

Processors The cores in Nvidia's upcoming PC processor achieve 'performance parity' with Intel and AMD's latest chips, but will it actually be any good for games? Processors Qualcomm's new Snapdragon ...

Intel announced new extensions to AVX today -- the SIMD standard is headed up to 512 bits wide in future versions of Xeon Phi, with mainstream CPU integration likely in the 2015 timeframe. Share on ...

Intel has replied to Linus Torvalds comments that he hoped “AVX512 dies a painful death” and “Intel starts fixing real problems instead of trying to create magic instructions to then create benchmarks ...

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 ...

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 ...

Also, AVX512 is getting rebranded as AVX10. They will be a subset that keeps everything but the 512 bit vectors for E cores while P cores will get the full 512 bit vectors. Not sure how that's going ...

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 ...
