AMD machines prior to Zen 3 had a micro-coded implementation of pdep and pext, so they're actually relatively expensive for those earlier Zen machines (as well as Bulldozer). Some people still have Ryzen 3000 series chips.
On the Intel side, pdep has been fast since its release with the Haswell in 2013, so pretty much everyone using Intel should be fine in this regard.
