Landing CPUs have an arithmetic unit that either serves as two AVX2 pipelines or
as one AVX-512 pipeline. Xeon Gold, Xeon Platinum, and Knights Landing CPUs have
an additional arithmetic unit solely for AVX-512 instructions. All Skylake and
Knights Landing can compute a fused multiplication and addition in one cycle.
