How many processors really will be shipping with dual avx-512. I thought his complaint was in part around the fragmentation here.

Cloudflare had complaints as well. Even if you just have a fraction of your code running 512, you take a big hit.

Cloudflare talks about a 0.3% 512 workload (ie, a cryto library for SSL) blowing up their throughput.

"It is equivalent to giving up on two cores, for nothing."

Do you / Intel GUARANTEE no frequency scaling to handle 512?

Intel quotes these specs on throughput and seem to do it using full frequency for FP. But if you have 512 in your mix (ie, 1-2% 512) do you really get that speed. Cloudflare talks about frequency dropping to 1.4Ghz
