I need to document some of my thoughts (for next time this comes up)

Doing this for recent EPYC we should as well consider the recent
intel chips as well. There we'd have Snowridge [1], but being an atom that
isn't the kind of chip that Ubuntu users of KVM (those that crave for the
latest chip features) are after. Being more and end user chip users are typically
ok to either miss a mini-feature benefit or are ok to run the latest Ubuntu
release. Therefore those do exists but are not needed here:
