Enabling AVX-512 more than triples performance on various AI-related workloads, according to benchmarking
Intel’s 5th-Gen Xeon Scalable processors, built on the Emerald Rapids architecture, can benefit from a huge raw performance boost when running AVX-512 workloads.
An Intel Xeon Platinum 8592+ CPU can almost double its average performance while also increasing power efficiency when running AVX-512 instructions in a handful of specific workloads, according to benchmarking site Phoronix.
AVX-512 is an instruction set that increases the performance of a CPU by running the same instructions across different data points – known as single instruction multiple data (SIMD).
Its main goal is to speed up data compression, cryptographic calculations and image processing tasks.
