Unfortunately, due to the complexity and specialized nature of AVX-512, such optimizations are typically reserved for performance-critical applications and require expertise in low-level programming and processor microarchitecture.

Even more ridiculous since a 1.4x performance increase is already incredible news for anyone who makes regular of this.

If someone found a software optimization that improved, say, blender performance by 1.4x people would be shouting praises from the rooftops.

Indeed, it's a very nice boost, and great work, but this clickbait nonsense is just so stupid....

And i'm really bothered how it's just parrotted everywhere... Doesn't anybody wonder "94x faster is like.... really a LOT.... that can't be true"
