Supported machines are: pc RHEL 7.1.0 PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996) (alias of pc-i440fx-rhel7.1.0) pc-i440fx-rhel7.1.0 RHEL 7.1.0 PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996) (default) pc-i440fx-rhel7.0.0 RHEL 7.0.0 PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996) rhel6.6.0 RHEL 6.6.0 PC rhel6.5.0 RHEL 6.5.0 PC rhel6.4.0 RHEL 6.4.0 PC rhel6.3.0 RHEL 6.3.0 PC rhel6.2.0 RHEL 6.2.0 PC rhel6.1.0 RHEL 6.1.0 PC rhel6.0.0 RHEL 6.0.0 PC q35 RHEL-7.1.0 PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009) (alias of pc-q35-rhel7.1.0) pc-q35-rhel7.1.0 RHEL-7.1.0 PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009) pc-q35-rhel7.0.0 RHEL-7.0.0 PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009) none empty machine But according to this, q35 is more new virtual hardware.
