I really hope this is my last x86-64 CPU, Intel has become an incompetent steward. The "killer feature" for AVX-2(56) at the time of original release was basically lag/jitter-free video playback. IMO, 512 should have never been released for desktop CPUs and restricted to servers. One day I will to switch to a mainstream Neoverse dev box running linux. I also target Cortex-M in rust, so it's got a lot of the typical issues related to missing docs (e.g. bringup of non-heterogenous cores, meaning that M3/M4 still can't be used in a big.little chip)
