🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically, this function looks at your CPU and goes "do you speak AVX-512F?" and tells you the tea. ☕

important bestie: this always returns false on CPUs that aren't using Intel instruction sets. like, no exceptions, no maybe, it's just not happening. periodt. 💀

that's it. that's the whole vibe check. ✅
