Thanks for reporting this issue Dom. 08/10 (Frida)y was the major feature freeze date. We won't be accepting any new features now for MXNet 1.3 release. RC0 will be cut on 08/17(Friday). Will be verifying the performance degradation issue mentioned. Thanks, Roshani On Mon, Aug 13, 2018 at 8:45

Hi I think we should explicitly define march to be x86-64 (which is the default in Linux) and documented here: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/x86-Options.html We can then also remove -msse2 which is enabled by default. piotr@ip-172-31-30-23:0:~/qemu (master)+$ echo "" | gcc -v -E - 2>&1 |

Hey Roshani, Has a RC branch already been cut? If so, a quick heads up that I think this commit should probably get into RC0 for 1.3. https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/commit/ee8755a2531b322fec29c9c3d2aa3b8738da41f3 It won't cause issues for users, but from a versioning compatibility
