The Intel Optimization Reference Manual is the only source of information i have for KNL. It says that of the two core's VPUs, one can execute shuffles. It says that single-source shuffles have a reciprocal throughput of 1 cycle, dual-source shuffles have a reciprocal throughput of 2 cycles. So i don't have any information indicating that KNL differs from SKX in preference of variable-shuffles.
