It can't get any other AVX2/AVX512 optimizations and it can't improve quality in the same size any more.
Time to move on to H.265 hardware encoding and other codecs (AV1)

AVX512 is useless. The amount of heat that is generated when it's enabled actually slows down your encodes. Also the sheer amount of power used during it makes it far less efficient.
Hardware encoding is garbage. You have fixed functions that can not be changed until the actual hardware itself is updated, at extreme cost to the user.
AV1 is no where near ready for home users. It requires a literal order of magnitude of processing power over HEVC to get not even similar results.
If we're to declare it dead, should we declare MPEG2 dead as well? MPEG1? How about Huffy?
