Great. |

Ok i see 3.10 was released 2013-06-30, so looking for a cpu released the |
| 19 |
previous year, say |
| 20 |
IvyBridge, IvyBridge-IBR Intel Xeon E3-12xx v2 (Ivy Bridge, 2012) |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
and $ qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu ? | grep -i ivy |
| 23 |
x86 IvyBridge (alias configured by machine type) |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
x86 IvyBridge-IBRS (alias of IvyBridge-v2) |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
x86 IvyBridge-v1 Intel Xeon E3-12xx v2 (Ivy Bridge) |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
x86 IvyBridge-v2 Intel Xeon E3-12xx v2 (Ivy Bridge, IBRS) |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
So if I run the following then RHEL will think it's running on an IvyBridge |
| 33 |
cpu, right? |
| 34 |
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu 'x86 IvyBridge-v1' etc |
