    Micro benchmarks might skew our perception. Isn't this showing the impact of AVX-512.

      It's JSON parsing which is a real-world task although one that only amounts for a small amount of runtime. It is using AVX-512. Most code doesn't benefit from SIMD but the speedups can be huge for code that does benefit.

      I like Geekbench's approach of combining general and specialized tests to reward CPUs for being well-rounded while taking some advantage of new vector/matrix features.
