I agree with Michael on the naming and having separate files for AVX and including all the header files inside x86intrin.h.
Also it would be easy for the users if we include all the instruction sets supported by both Intel and AMD in x86intrin.h file so that it is sufficient for the application developers to use only one header file for all the x86 based systems.
