This was also a problem with the first AVX implementations, so this is very typical: In the first generation, Intel makes such an instruction set extension available, so that one can write applications that make use of it (though they will usually not be faster, sometimes even slower). In the following generation this new feature is made fast, so that the newly written algorithms really get to profit from it.
