==AVX-512==
The section on AVX-512 looks like it has been copied from a news release. Maybe it should be a separate article. It needs to point out the distinction between the unnamed instruction set of Knights Corner and the AVX-512 instruction set of Knights Landing. The former uses an MVEX prefix and the latter uses an EVEX prefix. These two prefixes differ by a single bit, even for otherwise identical instructions. Therefore the two instruction sets are not mutually compatible, but both are backwards compatible with AVX2. Does anybody have info about the fate of the Knights Corner instruction set? Is it obsolete or will both lines be continued? [[User:Afog|Afog]] 09:48, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
==Completely rewritten==
I have rewritten the whole page to fix the issues discussed below and because the article had the tag: {{Newsrelease|article|date=March 2009}}
