Anyone know what the actual current situation is with AVX-512 enabling on Alder Lake? I finally managed to put an order in for affordable DDR5 so I'm looking at what mobo to get. I'd really like to test AVX-512 as well as E-cores, obviously not at the same time!
There were reports that Intel were going to close off the AVX-512 feature with microcode update. I take it that older ones can still allow that. I'd also guess that DDR5 mobo sales rates aren't exactly high so there is a good chance any stock has old bios. Worst case I can flash back? So I just need to know which mobos support it? As I'm mainly interested in testing (not overclocking) I want to keep this build as cheap as possible, so I'm looking at cheaper boards.
Not having much luck searching which mobos have AVX-512 potential. So far it seems like Asus is my safest bet, but I've not got much to go on. Any advice welcome.
