Toms’ Hardware has been looking under the bonnet of AMD's Zen 5-based Ryzen 9000-series processors and discovered that they handle AVX-512 instructions with minimal speed reduction and power increase, ...

As chip technology advances over time, new instructions can be added to a given architecture. A key is to make sure that these systems are backward compatible, that older applications can still run, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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® ...
