AVX512 is both integer and floating point, not just FP, so this rant about FP comes across as ill informed.

Despite that I'd agree most people probably see no benefit from these units today. But that could change. For workloads with parallelism, wide SIMD is very efficient - more so than multiple threads anyway. The only way to get people to write vector code is to have vector processing available. Once it's ubiquitously available people might code for it and the benefits may become more apparent.
