Because of that `fearless_simd` **only enables AVX-512 on Ice Lake and later** on Intel.

Using Ice Lake as a baseline also gives us access to more instructions, enabling more efficient implementations of some operations.

We've already seen a 15% end-to-end runtime improvement in [Vello CPU](https://github.com/linebender/vello/tree/main/sparse_strips/vello_cpu) from enabling AVX-512, on hardware without native 512-bit vectors, and without any code changes.

We've already seen a [15% end-to-end runtime improvement](https://github.com/linebender/fearless_simd/pull/231#issuecomment-4760357890) in [Vello CPU](https://github.com/linebender/vello/tree/main/sparse_strips/vello_cpu) from enabling AVX-512 compared to the previous AVX2 path. This was measured on Zen 4, which only has 256-bit execution units; the gains on CPUs with native 512-bit vectors are likely greater. And it was achieved without any code changes, simply by upgrading fearless_simd from v0.5 to v0.6.
