The new CPU model mostly inherits features from Icelake-Server, while
adding new features:
- AMX (Advance Matrix eXtensions)
- Bus Lock Debug Exception
and new instructions:
- AVX VNNI (Vector Neural Network Instruction):
- VPDPBUS: Multiply and Add Unsigned and Signed Bytes
- VPDPBUSDS: Multiply and Add Unsigned and Signed Bytes with Saturation
- VPDPWSSD: Multiply and Add Signed Word Integers
- VPDPWSSDS: Multiply and Add Signed Integers with Saturation
- FP16: Replicates existing AVX512 computational SP (FP32) instructions
using FP16 instead of FP32 for ~2X performance gain
- SERIALIZE: Provide software with a simple way to force the processor to
complete all modifications, faster, allowed in all privilege levels and
not causing an unconditional VM exit
- TSX Suspend Load Address Tracking: Allows programmers to choose which
memory accesses do not need to be tracked in the TSX read set
- AVX512_BF16: Vector Neural Network Instructions supporting BFLOAT16
inputs and conversion instructions from IEEE single precision
- fast zero-length MOVSB (KVM doesn't support yet)
- fast short STOSB (KVM doesn't support yet)
- fast short CMPSB, SCASB (KVM doesn't support yet)
Features that may be added in future versions:
- CET (virtualization support hasn't been merged)
