With 64bit CPU:s SHA512 would actually be faster to calculate than SHA256. That is if the modern CPUs didn't have dedicated instruction sets for speeding up calculating SHA256, which they do.
how about using AVX512 for SHA512?

It's not available on AMD CPU and Arm SoC. Those tasks usually given to GPU anyway.
