It is confirmed that Intel "Cannon Lake" has the Instruction Set AVX-512

Intel updated the ARK information page for its 10 nm production chip, the Core i3-8121U “Cannon Lake”, to confirm that the chip supports the new AVX-512 instruction set. This is the company’s first “conventional” client segment processor that introduces the extremely advanced instruction set that, if implemented correctly on the software side, can double the performance/watts compared to tasks that AVX2 can leverage.

The instruction set made its debut with the HPC Xeon Phi “Knights Landing” processor and made its customer segment debut with the Core X “Skylake X” HEDT processors. It remains to be seen if the implementation of AVX-512 on “Cannon Lake” is complete, or if any instructions found on HPC processors such as Xeon Phi are omitted due to the irrelevance to the client platform.
