Not that I was expecting anything dramatically different, but the AVX-512 presence on the 128-core EPYC 9754 showed to certainly be of help in the relevant HPC benchmarks.

AVX-512 with Zen 4C proved efficient with the libxsmm test for example showing no difference in the CPU power consumption when it was leveraged.

When AVX-512 was being utilized in libxsmm there was also no measurable difference in the CPU peak frequency being achieved nor the core temperature.

Even with Intel's own (excellent) open-source creator software like Embree the AVX-512 with Bergamo proved to be advantageous.
