Outside of AI workloads, Intel's Embree ray-tracing kernels enjoyed a very nice speed-up on the AMD 4th Gen EPYC processors thanks to AVX-512.

here was another example of AVX-512 being enabled leading to more efficient operation and delivering even better performance-per-Watt.

Intel's OpenVKL library on Genoa also enjoyed AVX-512 use and here the 2P power consumption was 466 Watts on average with AVX-512 enabled compared to 490 Watts when operating without AVX-512 usage.
