This roughly translates to Haswell era processors or AMD Excavator era CPUs and newer. Plus x86-64-v3 also mandates FMA, VEX encoding, and others that can potentially help with performance when able to unconditionally target x86-64-v3 <a href="https://www.phoronix.com/news/RedHat-RHEL10-x86-64-v3-Explore" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.phoronix.com/news/RedHat-RHEL10-x86-64-v3-Explore</a>
