Hi, I'm about to download SF14 but only AVX2 and POPCNT are there. Which one to choose for my BMI2 capable INTEL CPU?

OK I found it now. I just wondered why BMI is not in the main option. Does it mean AVX2 is faster in an INTEL BMI2 CPU?

It's because a lot of people have Zen1 or Zen2 CPUs which are a lot slower with BMI2 compiles.
Having AVX2 as default prevents a lot of headaches when people ask why their compile is so slow.
