The AVX-512 instruction set has had a bizarre history. Originally introduced with Intel's Xeon Phi processors based on the "Knights Landing" design, it later found its way into the company's server ...

Ever since the advent of the Multi-Media eXtensions, better known as "MMX," Intel has had a long history of tacking on instruction set extensions to add additional capabilities to its x86-family of ...

Intel is bringing its AVX-512 instruction set to desktop CPUs with its upcoming Cannon Lake CPUs, but AVX-512 is a good deal more complex than previous SIMD sets, and its capabilities are distributed ...

When Intel launches its 10nm Cannon Lake (CNL) and Ice Lake (ICL) processors for consumers it is now expected that they will come packing Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) 512 instruction compatibility ...

Intel has finally defended its AVX-512 instruction set against critics who have gone so far as to wish it to die “a painful death.” Intel Chief Architect Raja Koduri said the community loves it ...

“With the Intel compilers, intrinsics are recognized and the instructions are generated in-line which is a tremendous advantage. Since the Intel Xeon Phi processor when using the AVX-512 intrinsics ...

Since before the Core series, Intel has alternated process node and architecture improvements. With each new architecture, there were often major changes and new instruction sets. One such instruction ...

In context: Advanced vector extensions are a type of "single instruction, multiple data" extension to the x86 instruction set architecture, implemented by Intel and AMD in modern CPUs. These ...
