Toms’ Hardware has been looking under the bonnet of AMD's Zen 5-based Ryzen 9000-series processors and discovered that they handle AVX-512 instructions with minimal speed reduction and power increase, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Intel’s 5th-Gen Xeon Scalable processors, built on the Emerald Rapids architecture, can benefit from a huge raw performance boost when running AVX-512 workloads. An Intel Xeon Platinum 8592+ CPU can ...

Intel debuted AVX-512 instructions in its mainstream Core lineup with the 11th Gen Rocket Lake processors. Later with 12th Gen (Alder Lake) and newer chips (13th Gen Raptor Lake) though, Intel adopted ...

As chip technology advances over time, new instructions can be added to a given architecture. A key is to make sure that these systems are backward compatible, that older applications can still run, ...

Intel has warned that it is about to release its AVX-512 instructions which it claims will offer the highest degree of compiler support by including an unprecedented level of richness in the design of ...

Single-instruction, multiple-data (SIMD) instructions that can process multiple data with one instruction greatly contribute to the speedup of CPU operation. However, since SIMD instructions require a ...

Future microprocessors in the works from Intel and AMD will have new AVX instructions that will reportedly give you access to all kinds of performance gains. The question is, will you have to rewrite ...

First, architecture basics are detailed with information on the register sets, data types, and memory and instruction formats. Next, instruction set extensions are detailed, which include Intel® ...
