The newer versions of BOINC 8.0.x will now detect AVX 512 capable CPU's and of course the NFS project has applications to match.

Perhaps you might want to consider updating your BOINC client.

How can I know if a task is using AVX-512? My new main computer is compatible but I don't know if my tasks are really being processed with AVX-512. Also, how big is the speed bump compared to more regular instructions?

In late June there will be a windows version of the sievers using AVX-512. At the moment only the linux version is available.
