AVX-512 can benefit the average Joe, it appears.

        True, though it’s worth noting that AMD focus efficiency means that there isn’t a lot of extra performance you can get from their modern CPUs with overclocking.

          I think it’s less because of their efficiency focus and more because the chips already auto-overclock to reasonably high levels.

            I meant more of the whole approach of designing chips with efficiency as a top priority which means they get the best performance they can within their efficiency targets, which is always more optimal than users tinkering on their own. Efficiency and performance are kind of different sides of the same coin.
