Eh, just code for AVX512.
Future AMD processors will support it.
Some Intel processors will support it.
And the pain of doing software emulation on e.g. Atom should fall/rest on Intel's shoulders.
Make the error message (when there is neither hardware, nor software emulation) obvious.
"Call Intel for help. This is their problem. Get your money back. Chose a better CPU."
