AVX10/128 is a silly idea and should be removed from the specification

Intel has introduced the AVX10 specification, which aims to consolidate the various AVX-512 extensions into a single specification. This solves the problem of multiple configurations and targets for AVX-512 implementations. AVX10 brings together all the features of AVX-512 into smaller implementations suitable for consumer, micro-edge, and embedded devices. The AVX10 specification includes support for various features such as IEEE-754 half precision floating points, brain floating point 16, and dynamically reprogrammable ternary logic operator instructions. However, implementing AVX10/128 can be challenging and may result in trade-offs for software optimization. The author suggests that Intel should make AVX10/128 an illegal implementation to avoid complications in the future.
