Just a user here:

x86-64-v3 would take us to Haswell and make use of the avx2 vector instruction set.
Apparently, it needs volunteers to run with it on the devel-list

Initiative was originally Ben Cotton’s proposal on fedora-devel
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/MPFXH4Y5LDC5L2VXWKUHAX3WAKBQXR4U/
I wonder who has taken over the initiative since then.

There was a meeting on 20230623

The other news is that rpm package installer has already had the merge commit done to support micro architectures
