Arguing that people don't need faster and more efficient computing is kinda silly don't you think? This isn't like the more cores argument since many high performance required applications and average applications use AVX 512. The disadvantage is only in transistor count in the cpu cores.

that discussion was for client. I said AVX-512 has many benefits in HPC. In client not so much, unless you emulate PS3 games. Most people don’t do that so what do you mean by average applications?

Most average applications don’t even touch AVX2

Ray Tracing Explained

World of Tanks will soon support one of the most cutting-edge rendering technologies.
worldoftanks.com worldoftanks.com
While we were looking for a way to create soft and realistic shadows on tanks, our long-standing partner, Intel, offered to share their expertise and to assist us. Intel Advanced Rendering engineers helped with high-performance kernels and optimizations. Thanks to concurrent rendering support and the ability to parallelize the rendering we implemented in Update 1.4, the Intel Embree technology was perfect for our game.

It's been said before on the forum, Intel mistakenly used AVX as yet another product segmentation tool. They should have made it ubiquitous across their ecosystem, it would have paid a lot more in the long run.

Celeron and Pentium (and the Atoms) not having AVX should not have prevented AVX adoption.

It's not just Celerons and Pentiums. It all started with Skylake-X when intel added AVX-512 support in server and HEDT, but not client. In the 9 years since then AVX-512 support has been spotty. They had a few years of AVX-512 support for some of their mobile line-up, (Ice Lake and Tiger Lake iirc), but not desktop. And then they moved to heterogeneous cores in 2021 and won't support it again in client until 2027.
