Hi everyone, |
2 |
|
3 |
Today, I ordered a new desktop from Dell (offer too good to pass up!). |
4 |
The system is a Dell XPS 8300 with an Intel Core i7 processor. I was |
5 |
reading the Gentoo wiki about safe CFLAGS and it said that march=native |
6 |
is recommended if I use gcc >= 4.2.3. |
7 |
|
8 |
I looked at processor specific CFLAGS and if I am understanding this |
9 |
correctly, for an Intel i7, I would use march=prescott for a 32 bit OS. |
10 |
It also mentions march=core2 if using gcc > 4.3 for a 64-bit OS. |
11 |
However, it has amd64 in brackets. So would this be for an amd system? |
12 |
|
13 |
Should I stick with march="native"? |
14 |
|
15 |
Advice would be appreciated. |
