Plans on adding an Ampere Altra hardware profile
If you're unaware Oracle Cloud hosts an "Always Free Tier" utilizing Ampere Altra hardware (see: Ampere and Oracle). Im unsure if it would make any real impact in terms of performance or compatibility, but it would be nice to see come to Box86
I don't understand, ARM64 processor works very well in server environments. What do you really need?
I was referring to the profiles listed in docs/COMPILE.md, but perhaps im misunderstanding their purpose or the difference they make during compilation

Yes I understand. But the Ubuntu Server platform and several other available images are not enough? I use and don't need Box86/Box64 for this kind of environment.
What? I dont believe you do. I'm not talking about adding box86 to any images oracle offers. Im merely asking if the hardware profiles for say the RPI4 and RK3399 make any tangible difference to how Box86 operates (ie. optimizations), then if one could be made for Altra for ones individual compilation use, if either answer is no, the RPI profile works well and one could always use the prebuilt repo
ex.
mkdir build; cd build; cmake .. -DALTRA=1 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo; make -j$(nproc)
