No AVX-512 for Intel Nova Lake? Compiler Leak Raises Questions

Intel Nova Lake May Lack AVX-512 Support

Recent compiler data suggests that Intel's upcoming Nova Lake desktop CPU lineup might not feature AVX-512, a key instruction set for complex math, vector, and AI tasks.

In August, Intel's oneDNN AI library showed support for AVX-512 on "future Core processors", leading to speculation that Nova Lake would include this feature. However, the new compiler entry indicates that AVX-512 might be exclusive to Xeon branding.

AVX-512 support is now available across both desktop and server models from AMD, putting pressure on Intel to match this feature.

This potential lack of AVX-512 support in Nova Lake could be a disappointment for those expecting Intel to match AMD's features.

Author summary: Intel's Nova Lake may not support AVX-512.
