"Fedora 40 Targets Enhanced Performance with Optimized x86_64 Hardware Capabilities"

Fedora 40 is considering a proposal to offer optimized x86_64 binaries that align with the CPU's micro-architecture feature level, potentially enhancing performance on supported Intel and AMD processors. If approved by the Fedora Engineering and Steering Committee, this would allow for the automatic use of optimized libraries and application binaries, following the example of other distributions like openSUSE Tumbleweed and Intel's Clear Linux. The decision to provide optimized code will be at the discretion of individual package maintainers, based on performance benchmarks.
