AVX-512 in consumer chips was not new to Alder Lake, though; the previous generation did support it without any workarounds (there were no E-cores to disable to begin with). Intel may have changed course regarding AVX-512 but I wouldn't be so sure about the reasons.
- willis936 4y agoThat's true, but it seems like the consumer chips that did have AVX-512 came out when Intel did not have the single threaded performance crown. We can only speculate on what Intel's motives and plans are. I think they should embrace any ISA advantage they can muster in every CPU they sell.
