Intel Nova Lake CPUs May Lack AVX10, APX, and AMX Instruction Support
Intel may exclude AVX10, APX, and AMX extensions from its Nova Lake CPUs, potentially hindering performance in some applications.
A recent Linux compiler for Intel's upcoming Nova Lake has attracted attention due to its lack of flags regarding the AVX10, APX, and AMX instructions, suggesting that they may be absent from these chips.
While this wouldn’t be surprising considering the company’s past behaviour – disabling AVX-512 on consumer parts to give server CPUs an advantage, for example – it was believed that future Intel hardware would support AVX10 along with 512-bit AVX-512.
