AMD EPYC 4th gen CPUs explained - how to pick the perfect CPU

[@colinmaharaj50]

Are there any Linux + Windows compilers that can take advantage of the new CPU instructions. Even if it means I compile to .O or .OBJ files and link to my current projects.

Hi, in short, yes. The main additional instruction set on EPYC 9004 is AVX-512, which is natively supported by multiple compilers. AMD Zen Software Studio contains a bunch of development tools, notably including AOCC compiler and libraries as well as a handy profiling tool - all accessible free of charge at www.amd.com/en/developer/zen-software-studio.html and fully optimised for AMD's own architectures. GCC 13 contains similar support, and if you’re tied to the Intel toolchain, that will also work. Happy compiling - JG

Very good explainer! Helps make sense of all the various AMD launches.
