> These results suggest that AMD Zen 4 is matching Intel Ice Lake in AVX-512 performance. Given that the Zen 4 microarchitecture is the first AMD attempt at supporting AVX-512 commercially, it is a remarkable feat.
Um... Ice Lake shipped over three years ago. I mean, there's a real question as to whether or not "senselessly wide SIMD" is a good or bad feature in a datacenter part, and how or whether AMD should attempt to implement it and within which market sectors. And surely there's discussion to be had about the design tradeoffs to be made chasing after this nonsense.
But, no, performance parity with chips that are nearing end of life has to be viewed as table stakes here. It's certainly not "remarkable".
