Until the Intel Sapphire Rapids server CPUs will be launched later this month, the Ice Lake/Tiger Lake/Rocket Lake microarchitecture is the best AVX-512 implementation available from Intel, after 15 years since this ISA has been publicly disclosed.

Those differ only in the clock frequency and in a few details that are irrelevant for this particular benchmark.

So the comparison normalized by clock frequency, as done here, is legit, no other better comparison is possible for now.

Even if someone had a Sapphire Rapids sample, they would not be allowed to publish any benchmark yet.

Intel also decided to disable AVX-512 on their consumer CPUs going forward, presumably as long as their P+E core strategy remains in place.

I'm of the understanding AVX-512 is available on Alder Lake and up with an appropriate BIOS and the E cores (if applicable) disabled.

I never looked into it in detail, so I could be mistaken.

Only on older CPUs, they started fusing off AVX512 on newer silicon batches (even on 12th gen)

Is there a source for a decision having been made for _all_ their consumer CPUs, not just ADL?
