zen5 is really the first CPU of the avx512 era (since it's the first time normal compiler devs have them to play with)

And it’s full width for the first time.

full width doesn't matter. 90% of the AVX512 advantage is 32 registers, masking, and all the other nice features.

We had Ice Lake and Rocket Lake too, they seem to have disappeared from the collective memory

I have an ice lake laptop with avx512. The problem is that intel only made about 15 of them because their 10nm process was a disaster.

Their successors had more tangible performance improvements in everyday applications, so yes they were quickly forgotten. Also, it was a reduction in max core count from 10 to 8, intel changes sockets too often, and 14nm+++++.
