AVX(1) and AVX2 don't cause throttling, just AVX512. Even so, on code that can do the best of them[0], they still result in better performance. Eventually they will implemented in a way that doesn't require throttling, maybe AMD when it finally supports them or Intel when the famed 7nm[1] process arrives.
[0] numerical code usually, but go ahead and use them if you can express your problem in a way that makes sense in AVX512
[1] 7 as in "seven" since the 10nm is so troublesome that apparently no desktop/server chips will be made on it and just skips to 7, which should be comparable to TMSCs 5nm

Eventually they will implemented in a way that doesn't require throttling Probably not, there are fundamental physical limitations. I mean, you can put a good cooler on the cpu and disable the throttling, but then you could raise the non SIMD clock rate too.
