      CentOS ISA SIG Experimenting With New x86-64 Baseline For Better Performance

      news.movim.eu / Phoronix • 28 August, 2023

    The CentOS ISA special interest group (SIG) has been evaluating the performance of CentOS Stream in the event its x86_64 baseline were to be raised from x86-64-v2 to x86-64-v3.
