It's not clear yet if amd64v3 packages will play any official status in Ubuntu 26.10 or if they will release any amd64v3 ISO, but like previous cycles they have an amd64v3 package repository that is quietly available for those wanting to try these packages targeting the x86-64-v3 micro-architecture feature level.
