Would you like: (a) Small speed hit for Opteron users, OR (b) much
larger speed hit for EM64T users?

(a), ie -mtune=nocona everywhere, seems to be the fairest option here
for everybody since we obviously cannot make 1 build of Fedora Core for
Opteron and 1 comletely separate build of Fedora Core for EM64T.

That sort of depends on market share. I would put a beer on almost all Fedora 64bit users being AMD users because Fedora is appealing to the technically aware community rather than those whose choice is driven by "business relationships" as happens in the enterprise space


However, simply due to sheer marketshare, Intel may in the future have
the most x86_64 processors out there.  Where does that leave us?


Including x86_64 celerons...
