Re: Architecture baseline for Forky

Yet x86-64 v2 will still be supported, based on the initial email, even when power8 was released during the same time-frame? So power8 is considered retro computing, but not Intel v2? That power8 machine is also more powerful compared to Intel cpus for that time period. Power7 and older I totally understand, but Power8 is still a decent machine.
