EVC mode for Syklake / Skylake SP

does VMware currently really only support "Broadwell" as highest EVC mode and new EVC-modes are only introducet with future vSphere versions? t

that's crap when we get in a few months new hardware where all hosts are "Skylake SP" generation including AVX512 because we build performance critical software (apache, php, mysql...) with -mtune=native in a own repo only visible for the hosts in the VMware cluster - so it takes years to get all the new CPU features because even when VMware tomorrow announces vSphere 7.0 nobody right in his mind jumps to a major upgrade (and for 6.0 eve n 6.0U1 had HORRIBLE bugs with CBT and so on)
