AMD has added support for its upcoming processors based on the next-generation Zen 5 microarchitecture into the GCC compiler. The 'znver5' is now a target in the GCC Git repository in time for the GCC 14.1 stable release, reports Phoronix. This move ensures that developers will have the necessary compiler support for Zen 5-based Ryzen and EPYC CPUs ahead of their launch later this year.
In February, AMD announced the addition of the Zen 5 target to the GCC compiler, introducing new instructions such as AVXVNNI, MOVDIRI, MOVDIR64B, AVX512VP2INTERSECT, and PREFETCHI. These enhancements build on the capabilities of the previous Zen 4-powered processors, offering improved performance and efficiency for AMD's upcoming processors for client and datacenter PCs.
