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 announced new extensions to AVX today -- the SIMD standard is headed up to 512 bits wide in future versions of Xeon Phi, with mainstream CPU integration likely in the 2015 timeframe. Share on ...

The PlayStation 3's Cell Broadband Engine was fairly unlike any other processor. It had capabilities that make emulating the system surprisingly demanding, even for modern hardware. As we've reported ...

Intel AVX-512 is the latest in a long history of x86 vector instruction sets. Vector instructions, commonly known as SIMD instructions, are special because they do more than one operation at a time.

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 ...

Intel Core i9-12900K CPU was used for testing at 5.2 GHz with AVx-512 enabled. Using standard SSE2 instructions, the game only hit 5 FPS. Switching to AVX2/FMA gives us an additional 13% performance ...

You might recall that Intel first rolled out AVX-512 on its 10th-generation Ice Lake mobile chips, then extended support to Tiger Lake and Rocket Lake. But with Alder Lake’s hybrid-core ...
