11 This is the processor type of your CPU. This information is
12 used for optimizing purposes. In order to compile a kernel
13 that can run on all supported x86 CPU types (albeit not
14 optimally fast), you can specify "486" here.
15
16 Note that the 386 is no longer supported, this includes
17 AMD/Cyrix/Intel 386DX/DXL/SL/SLC/SX, Cyrix/TI 486DLC/DLC2,
11af32b6 18 UMC 486SX-S and the NexGen Nx586.

20 The kernel will not necessarily run on earlier architectures than
21 the one you have chosen, e.g. a Pentium optimized kernel will run on
22 a PPro, but not necessarily on a i486.
23
24 Here are the settings recommended for greatest speed:
96d55b88

25 - "486" for the AMD/Cyrix/IBM/Intel 486DX/DX2/DX4 or
26 SL/SLC/SLC2/SLC3/SX/SX2 and UMC U5D or U5S.
27 - "586" for generic Pentium CPUs lacking the TSC
28 (time stamp counter) register.
29 - "Pentium-Classic" for the Intel Pentium.
30 - "Pentium-MMX" for the Intel Pentium MMX.
31 - "Pentium-Pro" for the Intel Pentium Pro.
32 - "Pentium-II" for the Intel Pentium II or pre-Coppermine Celeron.
33 - "Pentium-III" for the Intel Pentium III or Coppermine Celeron.
34 - "Pentium-4" for the Intel Pentium 4 or P4-based Celeron.
35 - "K6" for the AMD K6, K6-II and K6-III (aka K6-3D).
36 - "Athlon" for the AMD K7 family (Athlon/Duron/Thunderbird).
37 - "Crusoe" for the Transmeta Crusoe series.
38 - "Efficeon" for the Transmeta Efficeon series.
39 - "Winchip-C6" for original IDT Winchip.
69d45dd1 40 - "Winchip-2" for IDT Winchips with 3dNow! capabilities.
96d55b88 41 - "GeodeGX1" for Geode GX1 (Cyrix MediaGX).
f90b8116 42 - "Geode GX/LX" For AMD Geode GX and LX processors.
96d55b88 43 - "CyrixIII/VIA C3" for VIA Cyrix III or VIA C3.
48a1204c 44 - "VIA C3-2" for VIA C3-2 "Nehemiah" (model 9 and above).
0949be35 45 - "VIA C7" for VIA C7.
