As you see, now they actually say "all future".

The Intel Nova Lake desktop and laptop CPUs and the Diamond Rapids server CPUs will mark a jump in the Intel ISA, by changing the CPUID CPU family number for the first time after a few decades and by introducing not only AVX-512 across all cores, to match AMD, but also the APX ISA extension, which adds features that remove some of the advantages of Arm Aarch64, by increasing to 32 the number of general-purpose registers and by adding double-register load/store instructions.
