Specifically, includingYuzu（NintendoSwitch）、Guitar(Nintendo 3DS),you will be missed(Sony PS Vita), andXenia（Microsoft Xbox360) can benefit from the AVX-512 instruction set of consumer CPUs.
beforeIntelThere was an attempt to add AVX-512 acceleration to the 12th-generation Alder Lake CPU, but it was later locked by a motherboard CPU microcode update due to power consumption and other considerations (Xeon / Xeon chips are still available).
In terms of data, AVX-512 can bring up to 30% performance improvement for emulators such as RPCS3 (Sony PS3) compared to the standard AVX2 instruction set.
Interestingly, at the same time Intel dropped AVX-512 in the consumer CPU market,AMDThis brings AVX-512 support to the Zen 4 Ryzen 7000 series AM5 desktop processors.
The company claims that its Zen 4 CPUs can boost FP32 inference performance by 30 percent and INT8 inference performance up to 2.5 times over AVX-512 (VNNI).
It is worth mentioning that Wunkolo said that these achievements were still done without using any 256-bit ymm, or 512-bit zmm registers.
WCCFTech notes that register widths can significantly expand the performance of new instruction-level architectures on specific projects. While Wunkolo doesn’t give detailed personal job descriptions in this tirade, he does share some links to documentation.
For those who like to play emulators or need to use the AVX-512 instruction set in specific scenarios, we can expect the market response after the official launch of the Ryzen 7000 and the 13th-generation Core.
