AVX-512 can benefit the average Joe, it appears.
Hand written assembly is pretty common in video, no matter what they say. All modern video codecs have hand written assembly for all modern SIMD extensions, even on ARM. They didn’t say anything about where these numbers come from. Likely compared against unoptimized C code. There will never be a case where having AVX-512 will give you that kind of speedup, because there will be fallbacks for more common extensions.

Sadly, Intel takes another lose here.

Common Intel L recently. Shame it effects 12th gen

I’m surprised Intel would remove a feature that AMD provides in their desktop CPUs.

Then this is your reminder that ALL AMD CPUs are Unlocked and support overclocking…

Probably some BS market segmentation move.
I imagine they noticed only certain server customers were using those extensions, so decided to limit them to high margin server SKUs.
It would have been a smart move if there weren’t competitors putting that instruction in every CPU.
