alt Hacker NewsOur design exploits the AVX-512 instruction set
AVX-512 is being discontinued in newer Intel consumer CPUs, particularly with the Alder Lake series, where it has been completely disabled through BIOS updates.

To the contrary, Nova Lake, coming out this year, will have it.

And that's a shame, but the relevant workloads typically run on server class CPUs.

Your comment is obsolete.
AVX-512 had been discontinued in the CPU generations from Alder Lake until the Panther Lake, Wildcat Lake and Clearwater Forest CPUs introduced during the first half of 2026, but Intel has committed than all future Intel CPUs will implement the complete 512-bit variant of the AVX-512 a.k.a. AVX10 ISA, starting with the Nova Lake desktop and laptop CPUs, to be launched by the end of this year.
Obviously, the competition from the AMD Zen 4, Zen 5 and Zen 6 CPUs, all of which implement AVX-512 and easily beat any Intel CPU in any workload that has been updated to use the AVX-512 ISA, has forced Intel to reconsider its previous decision.
