Can FL utilize AVX512?

So the new ryzen 7k series has avx512 support, and some plugin developers like Meldaproduction already use it. That got me wondering, can it be used for FL too? If I understand correctly all were really doing is crunching floating point numbers right?

I read this about avx512:
Intel AVX-512 enables twice the number of floating point operations per second (FLOPS) per clock cycle compared to its predecessor, Intel AVX2. A single register under Intel AVX-512 can hold up to eight double-precision or 16 single-precision floating-point numbers. Or in other words, Intel AVX-512 enables processing of twice the number of data elements that Intel AVX or Intel AVX2 can process with a single instruction, and four times that of Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE)

Wouldn't this mean massive gains in instructions per clock (IPC)?
