Does this mean that for Atom-based machines we are taking the risk of
introducing some slowdown?
I compiled scimark using march=i686/i586 (both with tune=i686) and on an atom
notebook the scores were 166+/-1 for both versions. Any change in performance is
in the noise region. There are code changes but according to objdump the 586
compiled version did not use any CMOVs.
