However, just as Bronze/Silver/Gold 5000 Xeon-SPs have only one FMAC per core
Do you have a link? I am not saying you are wrong, just that I would like to read it. Are you saying the Platinum will have 2 FMAC per core?
If the benchmarks come out, and we find out that the 8C part has AVX-512, runs in excess of 4 GHz, etc. I will eat my words.
Even half speed allows me to develop against it. And since that is my primary function, I will take what I get as long as it is supported. However, 4Ghz AVX-512 would be very nice!
Not having 6 channels will be crippling past 12C if AVX-512 is full speed. If AVX-512 is half-speed, then indeed it will be no big deal.
Many people on these forums claim that the difference between 2 channel to 4 channel is not a big deal on AVX2. Yet, you claim not having 6 with full speed AVX-512 will be crippling. I think we will need to wait for reviews of not only Skylake-X, but also Purley to make that determination.
