> In JDK-8309130, Array sort was optimized using  AVX512 SIMD instructions for x86_64. Currently, this optimization has been disabled for AMD Zen 4 [JDK-8317763] due to bad performance of compressstoreu.

> 
> This patch enables Zen 4 to pick optimized AVX2 version of SIMD sort and Zen 5 picks the AVX512 version.
> 
> JTREG Tests: Completed Tier1 & Tier2 tests on Zen4 & Zen5 - No Regressions.
> 
> Attaching ArraySort performance data for Zen4 & Zen5.
