Is there any chance AVX512 with Rocket Lake would be worthwhile for mining Ethereum / Ethash? I saw this post and am trying to corroborate their 'findings': https://www.hardwaretimes.com/intel-core-i9-11900k-reportedly-on-par-w-the-nvidia-rtx-3060-in-ether-mining-courtesy-of-avx512/

It's interesting but it was 5 GHz, not very practical. My i9-9940x slows from 4.3 GHz (all cores) to 3.5 when running AVX512.

I've been trying to vectorize verthash and AVX512 is slower than AVX2. I presume the significantly lower clock rate
slows down data file access, negating any gains from code optimization.
I also presume eth would have the same issues with the DAG.

I'm also not aware of any usable CPU miners for Eth.
