In Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 9, we upgraded the instruction set architecture (ISA) baseline to the x86-64-v2 microarchitecture level. For RHEL 10, we are exploring whether we can go a step further, to the x86-64-v3 level. New CPU capabilities in x86-64-v3 The x86-64-v3 x86-64 microarchitecture level primarily benefits numerical applications (for data science, for example) which do not include specialized implementations for modern CPU microarchitectures. Overall, the x86-64-v3 change bring...
