What are these AVX512 heavy apps? Aside of PS3 emulator.
Some math stuff but they're all limited by the bandwidth available.
Also the AV1 decoder dav1d and Intel's AV1 encoder SVT-AV1 has a fair chunk of AVX512 SIMD at this point.

As I mentioned above for Cinebench basically any offline ray tracing renderer CPU backend will likely have significant AVX512 code paths at this point too.

Likewise I imagine that any major video editing or compositing application like DaVinci Resolve, Foundry Nuke, Adobe Premiere + After Effects will have AVX512 code in there.

Computex and WWDC 2024.
Ok so this is now in full blown ideology mode, "anything that we have touched is ours".
Computex has been here decades before AI. It has nothing to do with AI, it's a computing event. AI just grafted (grifted?) itself onto it.
Never heard of WWDC 2024 and I think I'm happy with that. And the fact that I don't even know about it confirms my opinion about AI's success.

Also I asked for crowds. Not for nerds and computing professionals. B2C. Large, as in millions, of people looking for an AI product and who have found one at an acceptable price.

Zen4 has a trimmed AVX512 support, where they run some kind of dual 256bit design, I forget the details, but it's more of a "can do AVX512" than a "is custom made for AVX512".
Zen4 uses dual cycle 256 bit computation for AVX512 yes, but beyond that it supports most of the AVX512 instructions that Intel did prior to Alder Lake gimping their AVX512 support in the consumer market.

What I mean by this is: watch those two events.

WWDC is Apple's large keynote in which they announce all of their upcoming software changes to their OSes, and they also release new hardware(sometimes). Computex is... Computex.

The most important event for Windows users will probably be the Windows 12/11 H2(Whatever the brand they choose) AI PC event where X Elite, Strix and Lunar Lake will be presented and have design wins pushed as part of the AI PC marketing and branding that MS will unsleash.

A party trick is a party trick. Like clippy, or wordart templates.
Nah, you're just saying things for the sake of it, you wouldn't actually make this comparison if you've used both old ms office and new AI. There is a massive difference between having some random tips and templates, and having the program literally generate new and novel things for you specifically.

Do you even have experience with AI? Or are you just speaking with authority for no reason?

Its really hard to interpret your posts if you're always posing opinions as definite facts. Like the laptop thing. You keep claiming touchscreens are an option, even though on every major website 2 in 1 is a major formfactor, and even then dozens of normal windows laptops have touchscreens by default. Its just such a strange argument to make and a weird hill to die on when anyone can look up newegg and see whats being sold here right now in 2024.

Sadly, even sending fake news to a trash website like WTFTech won't ever kill their revenues. It's like cutting the head of a hydra: for every one article that gets outed as fake, they've already written two or more rumor articles.
The press is playing Starcraft with us, we're just Terrans hiding in a bunker, trying to share some stories, and they Zerg rush articles all over us until we catch on fire.

Yeah so...that'll probably up your productivity by a few percent of daily worktime.
Meanwhile running an AI costs several times more what you're paid during that worktime. That's the crux of the problem. Until AI becomes a lot cheaper (and isn't DC bound), it's a meme.

iOS and their goggles OS actually could use “AI”. More so than Windows at the consumer level.

Android is good too.
Windows is so meh with consumer AI.
I don't believe what they are building will happen anytime soon. Basic AI - sure.

But not what they are working: fully voice control of devices, alongside what you do with your typical inputs to be made in the background.

AI is essential to compute, and to say otherwise is dishonest and ignorant. It's just not that ready/useful for the mass except for a few cases. Completely different stories in the enterprise space though. Regardless, we need more compute and more efficient compute.

I took out some of the trash. No member callouts. And stop derailing the thread. I don't like to hit people with the ban hammer despite the username. So stay on topic or the guilty will be punished.

Given things seem to point to Zen5 doing a Zen2 and doubling the FP/SIMD throughput [...]
There was talk about doubled pipeline width, not necessarily doubled throughput. Remember that many FP heavy/ vector math centric scenarios are memory bandwidth limited or power limited.

Though if "instructions per cycle" or rather iso-clock single-thread performance is considered, double the execution width could go with anywhere between way less than double to somewhat more than double the performance, depending on frontend changes, cache policies and performance, and more.

Zen4 has a trimmed AVX512 support, where they run some kind of dual 256bit design, I forget the details, but it's more of a "can do AVX512" than a "is custom made for AVX512".
The addition of AVX512 instruction set support to Zen 4 was not just about "can do so now too" though, IOW not just a mere feature checkmark. It was also about increasing the FP pipeline utilization and power efficiency in practice. (An analysis: mersenneforum.org --> Zen4's AVX512 Teardown)

So about Turin-AI, is it real or just another manifestation of MLID schizo. Replacing 1 or 2 or even 3 chiplets with AI oriented ones seems feasible and interesting to me. Thoughts?
Maybe MLID schizo, maybe it's possible to get a decent enough thing running on OneAPI or whatever equivalent AMD will pull out of their hat. But IIRC AI is about membw and streaming very large data quantities. I just can't picture a CPU somehow getting to reaching a GPU's value in that. And AMD sells GPUs too, so even at the highest of the AIHype craze, I do not expect them to do that even if the craziest clients demand it. Not unless they're paying mad money for it.
