    in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/NOTES we can read :

    #
    # You must specify at least one CPU (the one you intend to run on);
    # deleting the specification for CPUs you don't need to use may make
    # parts of the system run faster.
    #
    cpu I486_CPU
    cpu I586_CPU # aka Pentium(tm)
    cpu I686_CPU # aka Pentium Pro(tm)
