Intel reportedly killing off AVX-512 support on its Alder Lake processors

AVX-512 is quite useful in certain emulation scenarios like PS3 emulation it gives a noticeable perf uplift.
 
Not fussed. This is the first CPU I have bought in 12 years that is purely for gaming. Like, modern gaming. If I wanted AVX I will just use my 3950x.

These CPUs are, IMO, not serious CPUs. They can't be, AMD have them nailed to the floor on that. It just so happens they are much, much better than the past few gens because of the shrink. They are also really good value.

If I was still 100% productivity before gaming? I would not have bought one. I never ever usually buy CPUs based purely on their gaming performance.
