Somewhere in 2005 AMD updated Athlon64/Sempron64 models to newer
revision and added sse3 support, among some other features. Then
-march=k8-sse3/opteron-sse3/athlon64-sse3 gcc options appeared, which
work exactly like original k8/opteron/athlon64 but also activate -msse3

If --cpu=k8 --enable-sse3 forms "-march=k8 -msse3" gcc string then it's
the same..
