I have tried googling for this information, but without any concrete results. In the '/etc/make.conf' file, what are the advantages between using the following declaration?

CPUTYPE=i686

Versus

CPUTYPE=p4

In the above scenario, the number following the letter 'p' could be between one and four. Does it make a discernable difference? 

Thanks!
