Description Resolution

Description

Unable to confirm if a processor that supports Intel® AVX2 or AVX-512 can also support AVX instructions.

Resolution

A processor that supports AVX2 is backward compatible with AVX, and a processor with AVX-512 is also backward compatible with AVX2 and AVX.

Refer to Intel® Instruction Set Extensions Technology for more information.
