The AMD Compressonator open-source tool suite that is under the GPUOpen umbrella has now added AVX-512 support alongside other enhancements in its v4.4 update.

AMD's Compressonator provides various tooling -- both command-line and GUI drivem options -- for textures and 3D models to help with texture compression, optimizations, and analysis of said assets. Now that AMD Zen 4 processors have added AVX-512 instruction support, the Compressonator 4.4 release adds AVX-512 as its latest SIMD option alongside SSE4 and AVX2 support. Making use of AVX-512 with the Compressonator should lead to nice compression time speed-ups.

AMD's numbers put it at roughly up to a 50% speed-up for BC1 texture compression with no difference in quality, thanks to AVX-512 with EPYC 9004 and Ryzen 7000 series processors.

The Compressonator 4.4 (v4.4.19) update also has mipmap generation updates, 16-bit PNG support in the Compressonator Framework, improved BC7 codec performance, and other changes.
