Yeah, and you could set the process cpu masks at init time in your own code and do the equivalent. Hell, Intel could add that init step as a flag for their compiler.

As mentioned elsewhere, I'm not sure this is hardware design being forced to adapt due to software implementation difficulties, so much as avx512 as a whole may not be worth the hardware area going forward. Even on the larger cores.
