 * Machine model for AMD bdver2 (Piledriver) CPU was added. It is used to support
   instruction scheduling and other instruction cost heuristics.
 
+* New AVX512F gather and scatter intrinsics were added that take a <X x i1> mask
+  instead of a scalar integer. This removes the need for a bitcast in IR. The
+  new intrinsics are named like the old intrinsics with ``llvm.avx512.``
+  replaced with ``llvm.avx512.mask.``. The old intrinsics will be removed in a
+  future release.
+
+* Added ``cascadelake`` as a CPU name for -march. This is ``skylake-avx512``
+  with the addition of the ``avx512vnni`` instruction set.
+
+* ADCX instruction will no longer be emitted. This instruction is rarely better
+  than the legacy ADC instruction and just increased code size.
