What should I call a new sub-CPU option? Should it be "ICELAKE" or is
there a better name like "CORE10" or "COREX" (X being the Roman numeral
for 10, standing in for the 10th generation of Intel Core)?

Hi everyone,
This is mainly to Florian, but also to anyone else who can answer the question
- at which point did a complex LEA instruction (using all three input operands
and some other specific circumstances) get slow?
Maybe check Agner’s list?
Preliminary research suggests the 486 was when it gained extra latency, and
then Sandy Bridge when it got particularly bad. Icy Lake seems to be the
architecture where faster LEA instructions are reintroduced, but I'm not sure
about AMD processors.
Should I introduce a new x86 subprocessor named "ICYLAKE" or is there a better
name or does it fall under one of our categories already (CORE_AVX2 or ZEN3)?
If it doesn’t fit in the existing ones, you can always add new ones
