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, ...

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 ...

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’s 5th-Gen Xeon Scalable processors, built on the Emerald Rapids architecture, can benefit from a huge raw performance boost when running AVX-512 workloads. An Intel Xeon Platinum 8592+ CPU can ...

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, ...

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 warned that it is about to release its AVX-512 instructions which it claims will offer the highest degree of compiler support by including an unprecedented level of richness in the design of ...

AVX stands for Advanced Vector Extensions. It is a set of CPU instructions designed to speed up complex CPU tasks. Many games require the AVX instruction set to function properly. Therefore, if AVX is ...

Single-instruction, multiple-data (SIMD) instructions that can process multiple data with one instruction greatly contribute to the speedup of CPU operation. However, since SIMD instructions require a ...

Future microprocessors in the works from Intel and AMD will have new AVX instructions that will reportedly give you access to all kinds of performance gains. The question is, will you have to rewrite ...
