Recent Intel Xeon processors have instructions using large "tile" registers for matrix multiplication.
I believe i8 and i16 multiplication is supported. Looks interesting, but these are only available on quite recent, and quite expensive, server processors (4th generation Xeon, introduced in 2023).

Re: AMX and TMUL instructions
Don't expect too much of it, compared to 5th gen AMD Threadrippers the performance of these new Xeons is rather disappointing.
I'm planning to switch to a 9970X Threadripper in the near future, also expensive but not as crazy as the Intel Xeons.
