As chip technology advances over time, new instructions can be added to a given architecture. A key is to make sure that these systems are backward compatible, that older applications can still run, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Toms’ Hardware has been looking under the bonnet of AMD's Zen 5-based Ryzen 9000-series processors and discovered that they handle AVX-512 instructions with minimal speed reduction and power increase, ...

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 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 ...
