The AMD using normal AVX2, just as fast as Intel using AVX-512. Impressive!

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 There isn't much in BOINC that can use 512.

OK, thanks. That makes more sense. I guess I'll just be keeping an eye on the stock and have to jump in at some point. Hopefully in the next month or two would be ideal.

isn't AVX-512 Intel exclusive?

[Bryan]

Only because AMD chose not to implement it yet

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.

Only when I don't get my beer. Or is that when I do get my beer? Geez, I'm getting so confused these days...
