Do they support AVX-512?

I don't think so. I think we are stuck with the SkyX and XeonW (whenever that becomes available) for AVX512.

The newest Xeons have a higher performance when you use AVX2 instead of AVX512 because of the low clock when using avx512 instructions (source in German:

)

The first gen is usually slower and a prototype so software can get written. AVX2's scatter gather instructions were similarly slower initially.
