I'm not sure.  'nocona' seems a pretty close match:

    _nocona_
          Improved version of Intel Pentium4 CPU with 64-bit
          extensions, MMX, SSE, SSE2 and SSE3 instruction set
          support.

Without actually trying -march=nocona on one of these I can't
tell for sure if it is 'optimal' or not though.
