This is really making me want to do an upgrade for the first time in a long time. Just curious - does AMD only have AVX2 or does it have AVX-512 as well?

No AVX 512 in the new ones ... or old ones. Personally I wouldn't let it be a buy decision :D There isn't much in BOINC that can use 512.
isn't AVX-512 Intel exclusive?
Only because AMD chose not to implement it yet :D
The article linked earlier shows the AMD AVX2 performance is about equal to intel AVX-512. And this is on a test that usually favors intel.
When y'all upgrade let me know and I'll take that obsolete hardware off your hands. :-bd
And hide it in the closet with the rest of your gear that takes the summers off... :))
