FFmpeg is an open-source video decoding project developed by volunteers who contribute to its codebase.

The developers have created an optimized code path using the AVX-512 instruction set to accelerate specific functions within the FFmpeg multimedia processing library.

By leveraging AVX512, they were able to achieve significant performance improvements — from three to 94 times faster — compared to standard implementations.

Intel 's Intel 's Core 12th, 13th , and 14th generations of Core processors have been disabled by disabling AVx-512.
