Please have a look, and pass me any comments.
I don't think this is worth the extra complication. The potential wins (if any) outweigh the confusion to users who might have no clue as to what core they have.
How's about a "This CPU" option instead, a la gcccpuopt [1], that sets the correct CPU options for the current machine/gcc combo?

arch/i386/Makefile already does this. the original poster wanted to increase the granularity further, splitting athlon into several types of athlon.
