Intel's 10nm process won't be mass-produced until next year, but it has now been shipped on a small scale. The first publicly available product is the low-power Core i3-8121U, and there is also an ultra-low-power Core m3-8114Y.
According to the Intel technical documentation that was exposed last year, Cannon Lake will be the first mainstream product to support AVX-512 advanced instruction set (Skylake-X introduced it to the desktop for the first time), but in the i3-8121U's specification sheet, there is no See the shadow of AVX-512.
Does Intel squeeze toothpaste back? Is this low-power model not worth supporting?
just now, Intel updated the official specification sheet, and in the advanced technical support of i3-8121U, it joined the AVX-512 instruction set.
The AVX advanced vector extended instruction set was proposed by Intel in March 2008. The second generation of Core Sandy Bridge in 2011 supported for the first time, and the AMD bulldozer architecture was also added.
It is an extension of the x86 SSE instruction set, it can double the efficiency of the SSE instruction, and supports three operation instructions. The upgraded version of AVX2 supports 256-bit integer operations and introduces the FMA instruction set as a supplement. AVX-512 (or should be called AVX3) is naturally 512 bits.
The AVX instruction set can be used to accelerate a variety of practical operations, such as multimedia codec, encryption and decryption, numerical calculations, etc. The use of AVX instruction set is becoming more and more widespread. Cannon Lake began to be popularized on mainstream platforms.
