I don't know yet how those new chips behave with AVX512, needs to be tested. Potentially especially EC modulators (that do much more computations) can still benefit from AVX512 also in form of larger registers, given that clocks don't get throttled too much.

I am looking at building an AMD Ryzen 3950X based CAS, will use HQP. I understand that this processor does not support AVX512. You have constantly talked about AVX512 for your CAS build. How critical is this? In the overall scheme of things?

Thanks

It depends on the model, current desktop CPU's like i9-9900KS doesn't support it either. "Only" up to AVX2 (which is based on 256-bit register set).

 

I just want it for my development machine because it makes it easier to test things during development cycle.

 

Thanks Miska. So that does not make issues for me to consider for now.

 

Folks

My parts list for CAS (Roon/HQP) is as follows:

Please give me your comments.
