Who both buys consumer desktop CPUs (without ECC) and runs software that can use AVX512? Games won't use avx512 (not really simd math heavy work on the CPU, and also consoles don't have it). Web browsers won't use AVX512 (similar to games - not really SIMD-friendly raw math computation limited). Video & photo editing maybe will, but GPU acceleration is already more widely available & faster than avx512.
What else does that leave?
- krapht 6y ago<-- this engineer's company workstation uses a consumer desktop CPU Most scientific and engineering computing applications use double precision floats.
