The AVX-512 story is just insane.<p>I can't even begin to imagine the kind of corporate dysfunction that leads to, first, at long last introducing the biggest change in the instruction set since the Haswell era into the consumer CPU line, slowly getting some actual adoption on that, and then suddenly dropping it altogether (for rather dubious reasons), but actually not really, so random motherboard vendors get to re-enable it behind your back.<p>This is crazy, both in terms of CPU design and just basic communication. Personally, I'll be waiting out this generation until I see AMD's response. Taking AVX-512 seriously is even harder than it already was.
