I wonder if this can be categorized as galactic algorithm. I can't imagine systems where bulk of processing goes into integer to decimal string conversion but maybe there are such.
AVX-512 is being discontinued in newer Intel consumer CPUs, particularly with the Alder Lake series, where it has been completely disabled through BIOS updates.
AVX-512 had been discontinued in the CPU generations from Alder Lake until the Panther Lake, Wildcat Lake and Clearwater Forest CPUs introduced during the first half of 2026, but Intel has committed than all future Intel CPUs will implement the complete 512-bit variant of the AVX-512 a.k.a. AVX10 ISA, starting with the Nova Lake desktop and laptop CPUs, to be launched by the end of this year.
Obviously, the competition from the AMD Zen 4, Zen 5 and Zen 6 CPUs, all of which implement AVX-512, has forced Intel to reconsider its previous decision.

This is just a worse copy of the original ifma method. Sneller is even better for max throughput.
Our design exploits the AVX-512 instruction set

Your comment is obsolete.

And that's a shame, but the relevant workloads typically run on server class CPUs.
To the contrary, Nova Lake, coming out this year, will have it.
Very impressive! But yeah AVX-512 is an awkward requirement.
