> Skylake includes Intel Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX-512), which make it ideal for scientific modeling, genomic research, 3D rendering, data analytics and engineering simulations. When compared to previous generations, Skylake’s AVX-512 doubles the floating-point performance for the heaviest calculations.
THANK YOU BASED INTEL
AYYMD IS FINISHED & BANKRUPT

Just use a GPU lol
>>59108286
AND ALL NEW, EVER STRONGER DRM SO YOU HAVE TO BUY SKYLAKE 6.0 TO PLAY ANYTHING RECENT. DID I FORGET TO MENTION IT ONLY WORKS ON WINDOWS 10?
>>59108306
This. Intel gimmicks on full throttle.

Zen has AVX-256. Hardly anything uses that and it's years old. By the time this actually means anything AMD will be including it in their processors.
I'm not going to switch my workflow from AWS to Google just because you got some fancy new CPU instructions.
>>59108378
Oh, and there's also HSA.
>>59108378
Zen does not have AVX2
Only Intel has real 256bit AVX2
AYYMD's AVX2 implementation is garbage
>On Intel CPUs, you can reach up to 2x higher FLOPS with AVX compared to SSE. Without AVX you can only reach 1/2 peak FLOPS of modern Intel CPUs. AMD splits AVX instructions to two 4-wide instructions. Thus AVX is a smaller gain for AMD.
AYYMD simply can't compete with real innovation
>>59108459
AVX-256 is implemented, although it requires two passes through their AVX hardware. However, AMD is working on HSA. Sorry m8, but no one gives a shit what kind of floating point performance you can get from a CPU when you can offload to a GPU and have several TFLOPS at your fingertips.
>>59108490
Not real AVX2, no real performance gains
AYYMD, garbage company for garbage fanboys
>>59108524
>no real performance gains
It hasn't been tested yet, so we don't know. Even if this is the case, we're literally talking about a handful of media encoding and manipulation applications, which AMD already has the upper hand in anyway with the higher core count and like I said, with HSA AVX will literally not matter at all.
By the way, you sound like a /v/ermin Intel fanboy, or just a butthurt faggot, but either way you should ge tthe fuck out.
cool, more useless extensions that will only find their way into mainstream binaries 15 years from now.
>>59108567
You're the one that should fuck off, this is real innovation thread, AYYMD asskissers not allowed in the first place
AVX2 and AVX-512, real innovation for solving problems
>>59108614
how is this innovative?
it's not like it makes CPUs viable replacements for GPUs
>>59108614
>HSA
>not real innovation
Yet somehow AVX is, huh?
Nah. Fuck off you stupid fucking fanboy.
>>59108641
>HSA, dead & irrelevant garbage that no one uses since Intel is the majority in servers and doesn't even care about HSA garbage
Stupid AYYMD fanboys just are ignorant assholes
>>59108677
You calling anyone else stupid or ignorant is laughable. Shit thread, you should just delete it if you're not too busy sucking Krzanich cock.
>>59108739
U MAD, FAGGOT?
Good, let the butthurt flow through you
Keep on sucking Poojeet's cock like you do
