We are currently supporting processors from 2003. We can be better than that.

In the very early Linux days many tasks maxed out the cpu performance and every cpus optimization was noticeable. This has changed a lot. Many even very old cpus are still fast enough for useful tasks. Do not force users with such a system to leave Arch. My main workstation system is still a SandyBridge 2600K and I guess it will last another 5-10 years. I much prefer runtime extension detection that should be implemented upstream. I'm strongly against increasing our main architecture requirements. I'm not sure if adding any additional more optimized repo is worth the work. -Andy
