I, too, hate progress. By the way, the AMD Athlon 3000G system I helped build for a friend has AVX2. Even the old HP T630 thin client (https://www.parkytowers.me.uk/thin/hp/t630/) I bought for $15 as a home network router has AVX2.

Au contraire: AVX2 is the vector ISA for x86 that doesn't suck. And it's basically ubiquitous at this point.

Any x86 CPU manufactured in the last 10 year has AVX2.
Here's a laptop for $350 which has a CPU with AVX2 support.

Almost every x86 cpu made in the last decade should have avx2.
Maybe you're thinking of avx512 or avx10?
