| 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, |
| 18 | and UMC 486SX-S. |

| 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. |

| 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. |
