These are not independent architectures but are compatible with all lower ones. So it is similar to i386, i486, i586, i686 - just this time in 64 bit. They are there to allow distributions to create optimized packages that only run on processors with the additional features. > (Detection for x86-64-v3 and x86-64-v4 is not correct because it does > not examine XCR0.
