Intel's previously-announced Advanced Vector Extensions 10 (AVX10) and Advanced Performance Extensions (APX) are now making their way to Intel's own "Clear Linux" distro, according to a report from Phoronix. Clear Linux is aimed at Linux developers who want the highest degree of Intel hardware optimizations under an optimized Linux environment, and is maintained in-house at Intel. Interested users can snag it from the main Clear Linux site, though this is not a distribution intended for mainstream usage.
According to Phoronix, proper implementation of AVX10.1 won't be seen until the launch of Granite Rapids later this year, where they speculate that APX may also come with the new CPUs (though this is still unconfirmed). The two features being initially presented side-by-side and added into Clear Linux simultaneously with this update suggest this is a possibility, though.
