            Bug ID: 94364
           Summary: 505.mcf_r is 8% faster when compiled with
                    -mprefer-vector-width=128
           Product: gcc
           Version: 10.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: tree-optimization

SPEC 2017 INTrate benchmark 505.mcf_r, when compiled with options
-Ofast -march=native -mtune=native, is 8% slower than when we also use
option -mprefer-vector-width=128.  I have observed it on both AMD Zen2
and Intel Cascade Lake Server CPUs (using master revision 26b3e568a60).

Better vector width selection would therefore bring about noticeable
speed-up.
