Intel 12Th generation Core has a breakthrough design of hybrid architecture with P core + E core, but in order to ensure the smooth execution of this architecture, it deliberately shut down the AVX-512 instruction set originally supported by P core.
In fact, before the release of the 12th generation Core, it was originally possible to open the AVX-512 instruction set, and there were relevant options on the early Z690 motherboard engineering template, but at the last moment, Intel determined to block it, and subsequent H670, B660, and H610 motherboards were turned off by default.
The AVX-512 instruction set can be said to be useless to gamers, but it contains a series of instructions that can accelerate the workload, such as scientific simulation, financial analysis, artificial intelligence, deep learning, 3D modeling, audio and video processors, encryption and decryption, data compression, etc., which are effective in specific projects and running score tests.
On previous platforms such as 11th-generation Core, avX-512 was an electric tiger, and the power consumption of the grill machine exploded directly with it, but this time it seems to be a little different.
For example, in the Y-Cruncher test, the i9-12900K used this MSI Z690 motherboard to open the AVX-512, and the running score hit a new high for the 8-core processor, and the power consumption was reduced!
Of course, this gameplay is not recommended for the average user to try, and MSI also clearly marked it as an experimental feature.
By convention, it may soon be banned.
