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.

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.

From all the workloads that I execute on my laptops or desktops, there is only one where the speed matters yet it is not significantly affected by the use of the AVX-512 ISA: the compilation of big software projects.

All the other things that I do and which can take a noticeable CPU time (i.e. not time used for waiting on SSDs or other peripherals) can be accelerated by AVX-512. This includes things like computing file hashes, data compression and encryption algorithms, graphics/audio/video algorithms and also EDA/CAD applications.
