Intel confirms AVX10 support for Nova Lake in new ISA reference
Intel’s latest Instruction Set Extensions Programming Reference (Revision 060, November 2025) confirms that AVX10.1, AVX10.2 and APX are tied to upcoming processors, including Nova Lake. This lines up with the recent oneDNN update, where Intel added early AVX10.2 512-bit support for “future Intel Core” CPUs.
The new ISA document now lists AVX10.1 and AVX10.2 under the updated feature-introduction tables for future Intel chips, including client parts. This is the first official sign from Intel that wide-vector support is set to return to consumer processors after being removed in Alder Lake.

AVX10.2 brings 128-, 256- and full 512-bit execution under one model, addressing the hybrid-core mismatch that forced Intel to disable AVX-512 on mainstream CPUs. The approach is designed to keep instruction behavior consistent across P-cores and E-cores.
InstLatX64 reports that Nova Lake supports both AVX10 and APX in the latest public ISA reference, and also notes FP8 instruction routes for Nova Lake and Diamond Rapids. Bionic-Squash adds that Nova Lake mobile will support AVX10 as well.
Yes, even on NVL mobile

This follows AMD’s recent move to expose full 512-bit AVX-512 on Zen 5 desktop CPUs, increasing pressure on Intel to restore wide-vector support in its next client architecture.
