These packages require Intel Haswell or AMD Excavator CPUs or newer. The amd64v3 archive is available for testing but not enabled by default. Red Hat already made RHEL 10 target x86-64-v3, and distributions like CachyOS also offer such packages. Benchmarks are forthcoming to measure the performance impact. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
