Explainer: What are MMX, SSE, and AVX?

[neeyik]

It's worth noting that while AVX has been around a good while now, Intel's Pentium Gold and Silver current line of processors don't support it - bar one: the Pentium Gold 7505. Fortunately these can only ever be found in the cheapest of laptops, which aren't for gaming anyway.

... so AVX-512 is needed in games probably 2033 or later.

I like that +1

Intel® Advanced Matrix Extensions (Intel® AMX) is a new 64-bit programming paradigm consisting of two components:
A set of 2-dimensional registers (tiles) representing sub-arrays from a larger 2-dimensional memory image
An accelerator that is able to operate on tiles
