and these are the Fedora relevant users?

that machines are fare better served with CentOS (now there is even a 
i686 one while RHEL7 does not exist of 32bit) instead bleeding edge 
while i don't see a compelling reason that a bleeding edge distribution 
in 2015 ignores SSE3 while in the meantime SSE4.2/AVX/AVX2 where 
introduced for a handful of users

"I have approximately 40 Fedora installations on 32 bit CPUs" by one 
real computer and put them all inside virtual machines on top of it - 
problem solved - the power savings alone wil pay it!

our new DL380 has two Xeon(R) CPU E5-2643 v3 @ 3.40GHz, 128 GB RAM, runs 
the whole company 8 with a second node for failover) and consumes 115W 
power (average over 24 hours)
