Agreed.. in a lot of ways, APX is like AVX(512) for scalar code.
Double integer register count, three-operand instructions, improved predication support including conditional load/stores.. If I remember correctly, they actually implement it by having the scalar instructions use the EVEX prefix introduced with avx512.
I would really love to seem them settle on APX + AVX10/512 as a next-generation x86 baseline.
