System info shows that my CPU doesn't support AVX512F instruction set.
But my CPU does support it, I checked this by doing command cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -i avx

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Make sure that your CPU supports AVX512 instruction set
  2. Open Steam
  3. Click on Help->System Information scroll down to Processor information and observe AVX512F is Unsupported
  4. cat /proc/cpuinfo and observe actual supported instruction set

I have an Intel i7-4790k which supports AVX & AVX2 but steam reports AVX2 as unsupported. I'm opted into the beta client on Ubuntu 20.04.
