Is AVX-512 practically useless?

>>106399327 (OP)
It's useful for some emulators IIRC, like I remember RPCS3 benefiting from it on AMD CPUs.

>>106399327 (OP)
They gave up on it in 2010 for a reason.

>Linus Torvalds said
that's how you know the opinion that follows is pure freetard delusion
there are plenty of software using avx512 for real speedups
it's ironic that AYYMD now has a better implementation of avx512 than its original inventor

>>106399396
if that retard hates on it, it must be pretty good.

if AVX512 ever gets popular in software it will be in the next 5 to 10 years

>>106399430
no they didn't. Its now avx 10.2, is basically the same instructions with a few more added and is going to be in all big and little cores going forward.

>>106399396

fuck your cryptic simd black magic give me real power

OP here. forgot to mention that i'm disabled (not sure if it's relevant)

Based, fixed point supremacy here we come.

Not, if you use AI.
Also, I hope it never get big, linus is right about AVX-512.

>>106399473
>Let's reset adoption of the instruction set because our cuck cores can't into 512bit FP
That's so unbelievably retarded. I hope AMD continues gaining more market share and make avx512 widely supported

>>106399396
VLC uses it, some emulators as well.

>>106399396
he is right.

>>106399412
>games
so no real world usage for non-manchildren

If you want to encode AV1 video quickly and use very little electricity to do so then it's pretty nice.

>>106399894
big data video encoding re-encoding
business database load
games do check files on load, this is time of your real life

At high compression efficiency that is! A kind hardworking anon tested NVENC AV1 against libsvtav1 and it's not on par with M2 it does seem to achieve M8 compression efficiency which is respectable. I still advocate for software AV1 encodes but M8 through GPU encoding is still pretty impressive.

Vectorial instruction are good tho.

i love love love avx512. it's the best vector extension!!!
eveewey time the rewgistews swallow sixteen fwoats or eight doubles at once i fell my heart going faster. all these new pussant instructions rivaling gpus at parallel compute, available on every amd cowe! it makes the compuwtew feel so special and powewufw.
an the mask reqisters??? soo elegant, so graceful, wetting me sewectivewy.. it make parallel programming such a joy to write~~
i swear writing in intrinsics with avx512 is so relaxing and simple. with just a few instructions hitting the decoder while the sheer thwoughput puts any other legacy extension to shame. pwzzzz intl /aym, never take it away.. i NEED my avx512 angel. i just hope the whole market sees how awesome it is and we'll get even wider extensions!! avx512 foewaa~~~

yall niggaz got triggerd by some shit i copied from wikipedia kek

>>106399327 (OP)
no the new instructions can be useful
you don't necessarily need 512 bit fpu though

>>106401751
>shit I copied
Why would you copy shit? Also, I wouldn't know what it was because I stopped reading at Linux Torvalds.

>>106399815
You don't understand. with AVX 10.2 intel is going to stick with a 512 bit length and all of the old avx512 instructions are a subset of AVX 10.2.

>>106401751
It's just some moskal foaming at the mouth because Linus insulted his butt fucking dystopia.

Linus loves buttfucking though. He's an avid supporter of gay rights.

>>106399829
AVX-512? I doubt. AVX-2, maybe. Only thing I've seen using AVX-512 are some custom Chromium builds, but even they dropped it nowadays.

>>106399894
>Wagie cagie apologist
Lower your tone when talking to me

>>106399327 (OP)
Yes, AVX2 practically is as well

>>106399327 (OP)
>Is AVX-512 practically useless?
Works only for intrinsic so yes useless

>>106399327 (OP)
are you doing HPC? of course you don't
nobody does

the only reason fags say dumb shit like AVX-512 is worthless is because they don't have it or have shit CPU architectures which downclock when using it (ie 11th and 12th gen). It's a boon across the board for AMD chips.
