Half-precision floating-point for sure.

As another poster has already mentioned, Zen 4 supports one half-precision FP format, BF16, which was first introduced in Intel Cooper Lake.

Sapphire Rapids has added an alternative format FP16, which is not supported by Zen 4, because Zen 4 was launched before Sapphire Rapids.
