i686 pacakges actually use i686 specific instructions, and will not
work on older processors (i386, i486, and i586). i386 packages are
the ones that use i386-only instruction set, and scheduling of
instructions is optimized for execution of i686 processors (since that
is the architecture most people use these days).
Yep! You're right. I twisted my mind.
