The dumbest move by Intel IMO. Intel had such a huge advantage in compute capabilities on their CPU for the last 7 years, and they have effectively wasted it..

The dumbest move by Intel IMO. Intel had such a huge advantage in compute capabilities on their CPU for the last 7 years, and they have effectively wasted it... by locking it behind boutique Xeon CPUs. AMD is coming out with AVX512 support in Zen4 and that's that. No more advantage to Intel. Unless Intel re-enables AVX512, they'll feel behind AMD on important tasks / benchmarks (Matlab, Blender, etc. etc.)
