Today I learned: At least 3 #AVX512 levels were planned, but they never released:
#AVX512QVNNI - byte form of 4VNNIW, it would extinct with KNM/MIC;
#AVX512DFMA - VDF[,n]MADD[P,S][S,D] - I have no idea what the difference between FMA & DFMA;
#AVX512BITALG2 - this is the most interesting for me;

This contradicts the earlier info:
- homogenized, 512b-only #AVX10
- oneDNN 3.9 release note [1]
- 2:1 #PantherCove : #ArcticWolf die size
and the common sense, without #APX -capable desktop SKUs, APX will be rare on servers too...

#Intel #VPMM is back in the 7th edition of "Intel® TDX Module Base Architecture Specification (What Changed)".
Probably just a documentation bug.

#Intel #Pantherlake #CougarCove/#Darkmont differences over the 18A process, so far:
- ISA additions (CGC/DMR)
- Better frontend/branch prediction (CGC/DMR)
- P21 bounded insts (CLMUL, GF2MUL?) doubled throughput (DMT)
- 19 -> 17 clks L2 latency (SMT->DMT)
