AMX-AVX512 Support Merged For LLVM Clang 20 Compiler


As the latest on the compiler enablement front for Intel's next-gen Xeon 'Diamond Rapids processors, LLVM Git has merged support for the AMX-AVX512 instructions for next spring's Clang 20 compiler release.

AMX-AVX512 is one of several new ISA additions around Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX) that are coming with Xeon Diamond Rapids. Intel's open-source compiler engineers for both LLVM/Clang and GCC have been working on enabling the several new ISA additions to be found with next year's Xeon processors. The-march=diamondrapids patch confirms all of the new ISA additions compared to current Xeon Granite Rapids processors.
