"AMD Introduces Zen 5 Support with New AVX Instructions for GCC Compiler"
AMD has initiated the enablement of its Zen5 microarchitecture in the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) with the introduction of patches, ahead of the expected Zen5 product launch later this year. The Zen5 architecture is anticipated to feature new AVX instructions such as AVXVNNI, MOVDIRI, MOVDIR64B, AVX512VP2INTERSECT, and PREFETCHI, which were previously absent in AMD products. This development coincides with Intel's work on the Clearwater Forest and Panther Lake CPU series, not expected to launch this year. The initial patches also indicate that Zen5 will support the same instruction set across its entire family of products, with potential power-efficient variants. However, there are unresolved questions regarding the availability of LLVM/Clang compilers for Zen5, as patches for this compiler are yet to be seen.
