More generally, I'd really like "real" vector ISA's to become mainstream [1]. We've suffered from the scourge of packed-SIMD long enough, thank you very much.
ARM SVE, RISC-V V extension, and indeed to an extent AVX-512 look pretty good.
[1] Not saying that every chip must dedicate a huge portion of the die area to a monster vector unit, I'd just like the ISA to be there so programmers and compilers can target it.
