I am currently using and testing AVX-256(for these headache sufferers), and it is slower than AVX-512 by half. The AVX-256 workload can cause the CPU to downclock significantly, which might negate the performance gains from vectorization. The CPU is throttling as a result.



Your brain is like that one friend who loves drama but can’t feel it themselves. It’s sitting there going, ‘Oh no, the nerves and muscles around me are freaking out! Better make you feel like your head’s exploding!’ But your brain? Totally chill, no pain receptors, just vibes. So when your head hurts, blame the drama queens around your brain, not the brain itself.
