Hi,
How many of the current sample libraries & VSTi's use AVX2 instructions? - There are other instructions as well like SSE etc......but for AVX 128 bits & AVX2 being 256 bits it's obvious the benefits of reduced CPU load.
From Haswell CPU's onwards AVX2 was supported and we're on AVX512 but lets focus on AVX2 & AVX
Reason is there are some older CPU's from the Sandy Bridge / Ivy Bridge era - circa 2011 onwards such as 3930K XEON E5 2690, Xeon E5 1680 v2 all supporting AVX but not AVX2 but are still strong CPU's in some cases.
Any info - thanks
