+  Go 1.18 introduces the new <code>GOAMD64</code> environment variable which selects
+  a version of the AMD64 architecture. Allowed values are <code>v1</code>,
+  <code>v2</code>, <code>v3</code>, or <code>v4</code>. Each higher level requires,
+  and takes advantage of, additional processor features.  A detailed description of the
+  versions is <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64#Microarchitecture_levels">here</a>.
+</p>
+<p>
+  The <code>GOAMD64</code> environment variable defaults to <code>v1</code>.
