As a result, I think we'll just need to make a choice based on some combination of which is likely to be most common among our users and which is likely best on future hardware. Users will need to explicitly specify the architecture to get the other one.


There is avx512_2ndFMA (PIROM offset 70h bit 0), see: https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/datasheets/xeon-scalable-datasheet-vol-1.pdf
