Intel Pursuing AVX-512 Optimized Crypto Algorithms For The Linux Kernel

Hey, if this means fewer gaming GPUs going to miners, I'm all for it.

This strikes me as an example of where dedicated crypto hardware would be a better path than AVX512.

Yes, but if you don't have the dedicated crypto hardware, then the AVX512 optimizations come in handy.

I do wonder which CPUs supporting AVX512 doesn't support AES-NI.
