CPU architecture designs and compiler support for it is planned years in advance and is backward compatible to ensure that compiled programs can run on a vast range of CPUs with a common architecture, from Pentiums to the latest Core i* in Intel and from the early Cortex A53 to the Cortex A75 on ARMv8. This is good for getting things up and running but there is a lot of potential performance gains left on the table.

Enter the -mcpu flag in gcc and llvm, which allows developers to optimize their code for a specific microprocessor.  In this session we dig into what happens behind the scenes of the mcpu flag and how gcc records and uses information specific to a CPU micro-architecture to squeeze out the last bit of performance from your CPU.
