FFmpeg devs boast of up to 94x performance boost after implementing handwritten AVX-512 assembly code (www.tomshardware.com)

Unfortunately, due to the complexity and specialized nature of AVX-512, such optimizations are typically reserved for performance-critical applications and require expertise in low-level programming and processor microarchitecture.

When this comes to the BSD's, it will be interesting to see if there is a significant difference in multimedia. I bought Intel 11th gen over 10th for it's AVX-512.

Why, do you expect a difference on bsd?

Does the BSD's heavy emphasis on code correctness, that's when the quality and security of the code will be revealed. I will watch what the OpenBSD developers say when they try to port the new code for FFMpeg.
