SUSE Linux Enterprise / openSUSE Leap Pursuing x86_64-v2 Optimized Libraries

Awesome! I think HWCAPS will be a nice feature, now just hoping everything is upstreamed and distros start using and collaborating...

my expectations for SUSE 16 are really high... so far so good.

If I were SUSE I'd keep on doing exactly what they're doing versus going the RHEL route and dropping the earliest of x86_64 and new oddball Intel CPUs. If RHEL wants to tell paying customers that new, low power Intel Atom systems are unsupported then that's on them.

I'm glad to see HWCAPS and v# come into use.

Typo: "until the second update from now, Leap 15.4 / SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP5" should refer to Leap 15.5.

Edit: Fixed now, thanks.

Phoronix: SUSE Linux Enterprise / openSUSE Leap Pursuing x86_64-v2 Optimized Libraries

In addition to the rolling-release openSUSE Tumbleweed looking at HWCAPS / x86-64 feature levels for being able to provide greater out-of-the-box performance by selectively loading more tuned libraries depending upon the CPU in use, SUSE Linux Enterprise / openSUSE Leap are also looking at offering similar functionality that may turn up in time for the next point release / service pack...
