In the article they quote Linus speculating that the increased core count of CPUs will achieve the same thing as AVX512 without the problems. I have read comments on HN that if cores keep increasing on CPUs they might be able to replace GPUs for some of the tasks as GPUs (or CUDA in particular) have quirks that CPUs don't have.

AVX512 in particular has issues. Using it slows down the CPU so actual wall clock benefits depends heavily on how it is used.

For general purpose computing maybe. For gaming the GPUs contain special operations for texture lookup and what not that would be very expensive in a CPU.
