11 This is the processor type of your CPU. This information is used for
12 optimizing purposes. In order to compile a kernel that can run on
13 all x86 CPU types (albeit not optimally fast), you can specify
14 "386" here.
15
16 The kernel will not necessarily run on earlier architectures than
17 the one you have chosen, e.g. a Pentium optimized kernel will run on
18 a PPro, but not necessarily on a i486.
19
20 Here are the settings recommended for greatest speed:
21 - "386" for the AMD/Cyrix/Intel 386DX/DXL/SL/SLC/SX, Cyrix/TI
f7f17a67
DV
22 486DLC/DLC2, and UMC 486SX-S. Only "386" kernels will run on a 386
23 class machine.
96d55b88
PBG
24 - "486" for the AMD/Cyrix/IBM/Intel 486DX/DX2/DX4 or
25 SL/SLC/SLC2/SLC3/SX/SX2 and UMC U5D or U5S.
26 - "586" for generic Pentium CPUs lacking the TSC
27 (time stamp counter) register.
28 - "Pentium-Classic" for the Intel Pentium.
29 - "Pentium-MMX" for the Intel Pentium MMX.
30 - "Pentium-Pro" for the Intel Pentium Pro.
31 - "Pentium-II" for the Intel Pentium II or pre-Coppermine Celeron.
32 - "Pentium-III" for the Intel Pentium III or Coppermine Celeron.
33 - "Pentium-4" for the Intel Pentium 4 or P4-based Celeron.
34 - "K6" for the AMD K6, K6-II and K6-III (aka K6-3D).
35 - "Athlon" for the AMD K7 family (Athlon/Duron/Thunderbird).
36 - "Crusoe" for the Transmeta Crusoe series.
37 - "Efficeon" for the Transmeta Efficeon series.
38 - "Winchip-C6" for original IDT Winchip.
69d45dd1 39 - "Winchip-2" for IDT Winchips with 3dNow! capabilities.
96d55b88 40 - "GeodeGX1" for Geode GX1 (Cyrix MediaGX).
f90b8116 41 - "Geode GX/LX" For AMD Geode GX and LX processors.
96d55b88 42 - "CyrixIII/VIA C3" for VIA Cyrix III or VIA C3.
48a1204c 43 - "VIA C3-2" for VIA C3-2 "Nehemiah" (model 9 and above).
0949be35 44 - "VIA C7" for VIA C7.
