Although the AVX-512 instruction set has mixed reviews from all walks of life, it is also Intel’s signature for a long time. Even the rival AMD Zen4 Ryzen 7000 series has to learn from its AI acceleration instructions. However, in its own processor products, Intel’s support for AVX-512 has been fluctuating, especially the 12th generation processors, perhaps due to the adoption of a new hybrid architecture.
In the earliest developer guidance, the large core of the 12th generation Core processor was clearly marked to support AVX-512 instructions, but later Intel made changes, emphasizing that this generation does not provide AVX-512. But following the processor was released, the seal was quickly broken, AVX-512 was re-opened, and even some motherboard makers publicly offered support.
Unfortunately, in March, Intel changed to shield support for AVX-512 from the hardware level, and there is no possibility of cracking. If you really need to use the AVX-512 instruction set on 12th generation processors, there is actually an easy way to find batches that support it. And this method is to observe the Intel LOGO on the surface of the CPU.
If the LOGO is circular, it means it is a batch produced in 2021, supports AVX-512, and can be cracked; if it is a square LOGO, it is a batch produced in 2022 and cannot be cracked. In fact, when many users saw this square LOGO earlier, they wondered whether they had bought a fake, but it was actually part of the new LOGO logo launched by Intel in September 2020, and the style was changed to a square.
