This could also under x86 vs ARM but I thought it might deserve its own thread:
The rest of the news bulletin is about the details of the new instructions, but I highlighted the conclusion above as especially certain posters would “like” the quoted claim. Intel is doubling down. We’ll see how that works out for them. I’m not qualified to judge, maybe it will!
And we have AVX10 too which seems very comparable in philosophy to ARM’s SVE2 though only meant to bridge the 256-512bit SIMD workloads.
Advanced Performance Extensions (APX)
Advanced Performance Extensions (APX) expand the entire x86 instruction set with access to more registers and adds various new features that improve general-purpose performance.

Intel® APX demonstrates the advantage of the variable-length instruction encodings of x86 – new features enhancing the entire instruction set can be defined with only incremental changes to the instruction-decode hardware. This flexibility has allowed Intel® architecture to adapt and flourish over four decades of rapid advances in computing – and it enables the innovations that will keep it thriving into the future.
