It seems the compiler supports /arch:AVX512 and /arch:AVX512F but none
of the other switches (and neither are documented). And when you pass
those, you also get Conflict Detection (CD), Double & Quad (DQ), Byte &
Word (BW) and Vector Length (VL), which matches the ICC switch
"-xCORE-AVX512". Unlike ICC, there doesn't seem to be an option to
enable only the common part of AVX-512.
Support for Intel Xeon Phi's current features (Exponential &
Reciprocation and Prefetch) and future ones (IFMA, VBMI, 4FMAPS, 4VNNI
and VPOPCNTDQ) seems to be missing altogether.
