That headline was hard to parse correctly.
> Intel has dropped the 256-bit-only approach and going for 512-bit everywhere. Thus it would seem to indicate that Intel E cores of the future will properly support AVX 512-bit operation!
> It looks like AMD's widespread support for AVX-512 since Zen 4 and the rather confusing AVX10 implementations previously pursued by Intel are now over. With updated GCC compiler patches posted today, that 256-bit mess proposed for future AVX10 versions is being removed.
- colejohnson66 2y agoInstead of saying it drops the optional 512-bit portion, it should say that it's now mandatory. Remove the double-negative. A better title would then be: "Intel AVX10.2 makes 512-bit mandatory: No 256-bit only E cores".
