Originally Published 1 year ago — by Phoronix
Gentoo Linux has expanded its binary package offerings by introducing x86-64-v3 packages, catering to low-end/embedded systems and providing optimized performance for modern CPUs with AVX/AVX2, BMI2, FMA, and other newer instruction set extensions. Users can easily access these packages by replacing "x86-64" with "x86-64-v3" in their Portage sync URIs, aligning Gentoo with other distributions exploring or already providing x86-64-v3 packages.
