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 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 ...

Intel debuted AVX-512 instructions in its mainstream Core lineup with the 11th Gen Rocket Lake processors. Later with 12th Gen (Alder Lake) and newer chips (13th Gen Raptor Lake) though, Intel adopted ...

Remember how, back in 2023, we reported on Intel's AVX10? Intel said that the new standard would be backward compatible with all of the AVX-512 instruction set extensions, and that at some point, the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The PlayStation 3's Cell Broadband Engine was fairly unlike any other processor. It had capabilities that make emulating the system surprisingly demanding, even for modern hardware. As we've reported ...

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 ...
