alt Hacker News> AVX512 isn't available on most new CPUs
Please define new. Also, I think AMD uses very similar cores in server and client. So, disabling AVX512 may be an Intel thing (my guess is that so they can easily move threads between E & P cores).

They didn't disable it at first on their client CPUs, and it resulted in code randomly crashing depending on whether ifunc resolvers first ran on a big core or a little core.
It's pretty surprising that multiple CPU vendors have run into issues like this (some more than once, fucking Samsung), when it's pretty much the first thing that anyone on the toolchain side of thing asks when they hear about heterogenous cores on a CPU.
