The AVX-512 instruction set has had a bizarre history. Originally introduced with Intel's Xeon Phi processors based on the "Knights Landing" design, it later found its way into the company's server ...

When Intel launches its 10nm Cannon Lake (CNL) and Ice Lake (ICL) processors for consumers it is now expected that they will come packing Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) 512 instruction compatibility ...

In context: Advanced vector extensions are a type of "single instruction, multiple data" extension to the x86 instruction set architecture, implemented by Intel and AMD in modern CPUs. These ...

Intel announced new extensions to AVX today -- the SIMD standard is headed up to 512 bits wide in future versions of Xeon Phi, with mainstream CPU integration likely in the 2015 timeframe. Share on ...

Intel’s 5th-Gen Xeon Scalable processors, built on the Emerald Rapids architecture, can benefit from a huge raw performance boost when running AVX-512 workloads. An Intel Xeon Platinum 8592+ CPU can ...

First, architecture basics are detailed with information on the register sets, data types, and memory and instruction formats. Next, instruction set extensions are detailed, which include Intel® ...

Why it matters: Intel is gearing up for what the company considers the "next major step" in the evolution of the original x86 instruction set architecture (ISA). The Santa Clara corporation is ...

Single-instruction, multiple-data (SIMD) instructions that can process multiple data with one instruction greatly contribute to the speedup of CPU operation. However, since SIMD instructions require a ...
