The provided binaries use avx2, bmi2... (v3) / sse3, popcnt.. (v2) optimization respectively. The avx2bmi2 binary is faster so it should be preferred if your CPU supports these instructions sets. Note that even ryzens before zen 3 should be able to use the bmi2 binaries without slowdown, as they contain no pext / pdep instructions
