Believe it or not, the following BIOS screenshots are from a Core i3-1115G4 laptop with an unmodified BIOS, complete with RAMDISK creation and in-band ECC support:

But the most curious thing is that AVX-512 is called AVX3 in this BIOS.

I'll post that screenshot later. Too lazy to turn it on atm.

This post is for this laptop: https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/post-your-maxxmem²-score.2608515/post-41492029
Because it is AVX3. That's what it was called in early presentations. Probably what was called internally for a while.

Yeah and it makes no sense why they went with crappy AVX512. And then AVX10.2 which makes it sound like a downgrade. I hate people and organizations who think they can defy logic and go with any product or feature name.
