Unfortunately, due to the complexity and specialized nature of AVX-512, such optimizations are typically reserved for performance-critical applications and require expertise in low-level programming and processor microarchitecture.

Intel can’t stop the L.
As for the claims and benchmarking, we need to see how much it actually improves. Because the 94x performance boost is compared to baseline when no AVX or SIMD is used (if I understand the blog post correctly). So I wonder how much the handwritten AVX-512 assembler code improves over an AVX-512 code written in C (or Rust maybe?). The exact hardware used to benchmark this is not disclosed either, unfortunately.
Someone else in the comments mentioned it is about 40% faster than the AVX-2 code and slightly more than twice as fast as the SSE3 code. That’s still a nice boost, but hopefully no one was relying on the radically slow unoptimized baseline.
