AVX-512 in general purpose CPUs was designed to not really make sense but start seeding the market at 10nm, vaguely make sense at 7nm, and really make sense starting at 5nm (or Intel's 14nm (Intel10) -> 10nm (Intel7) -> 7nm (Intel4)).
So Intel's process woes have been hurting their ability to execute in a meaningful way. Additionally Alder Lake was hurt by needing to pivot to heterogeneous cores (E cores and P cores), which hurt their ability to keep pushing this even in a 'maybe it makes sense, maybe it doesn't' state it had been in.
