Description
This issue tracks the integration of Intel AMX instruction family to Rust.
The feature gate for the issue is #![feature(x86_amx_intrinsics)].
Steps
- Add the
target-featureattributes and runtime detection for them - Implement the associated intrinsics in stdarch
- Stabilization PR
Public API
The following target features and all their associated intrinsics and types (not complete, will be extended in future)
amx-tileamx-int8amx-bf16amx-fp16amx-complexamx-avx512amx-fp8amx-movrsamx-tf32amx-transpose

Research direction
Start by reviewing the completed target-feature, runtime-detection, and stdarch implementation work linked in the issue, along with unresolved question #133144. The remaining work is a stabilization PR for the x86_amx_intrinsics feature gate and the listed AMX target features and intrinsics; done means the stabilization decision and PR are complete.
