Isn't AVX-10 on the horizon, which will have most of the goodies that AVX-512 had? (I'm actually not even sure what the difference is supposed to be between them.)


AVX-10 used to have a AVX-10/256 version that's AVX-512 but without the 512-bit registers, but that's gone as of recently, so now AVX-10 is just a set of most AVX-512 extensions, and the stated goal is to, for future versions, guarantee each successive one being a superset of the previous (as opposed to AVX-512 with many independent extensions).


AVX-10 was mostly just a way for Intel to provide an excuse for why they're still a few years out from having AVX-512 in their E cores: they're targeting a standard that's not here yet. But the excuse doesn't really work now that AVX-10 requires doing a full AVX-512 implementation. We're back to Intel just dragging their heels on implementing the AVX-512 support that they were obviously going to need all along.
