Seeing 2 consumer CPU generations in a row not only support but improve AVX512 capabilities will hopefully go a long ways towards regaining the confidence of the developers that use AVX512 in the consumer space. I know I personally have been holding back as I watched Intel fumble AVX512 for the last 10 years. With their even more recent fumbles there could be a near future where AMD CPUs have majority market share in both desktop and mobile. Great news for developers that can use AVX512.

Agreed. My current best-case-scenario hope is that the success of the Zen4/5/etc processors will force Intel to adapt their strategy towards AMDs, and finally move us out of the avx512 mess they've segmented us into.
Assuming Intel is changing direction right now, unfortunately they will face 2-3 years of latency to implement that.
