Following Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) and more recently Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX) for furthering the x86_64 CPU compute potential, Intel has now published initial details on APX: Advanced Performance Extensions.

Intel’s Advanced Performance Extensions are to allow access to more registers and adding additional features to enhance general-purpose CPU performance. Intel says APX will allow for performance gains across a wide swath of workloads and without costing much in terms of CPU power or silicon area.

    @dragontamer AVX10 is a subset of APX, AFAIK. It is not quite the same post.

    Hmm. That’s a good point.

    In any case, welcome to the Fediverse. Nice to see familiar faces (erm… usernames) around again.
