Chapter 2. Understanding i386 and Other Computer Architectures
The Fedora Project provides distributions of Fedora Core for several different types of
computer systems. Each distribution of Fedora Core is built for computers based on
a specific architecture. The architecture describes
the processor on which the computer is built. Most computers come with
identifying marks and literature describing the processor inside the
computer. Refer to your computer's marks or literature and find its
architecture in the list below:
-
i386
-
Intel x86-compatible processors, including Intel Pentium and
Pentium-MMX, Pentium Pro, Pentium-II, Pentium-III, Celeron, Pentium 4,
Xeon, Core Duo, and Centrino/Centrino Duo; VIA C3/C3-m and
Eden/Eden-N; and AMD Athlon, AthlonXP, Duron, AthlonMP, Sempron, and
Turion
-
ppc
-
PowerPC processors, such as those found in Apple Power Macintosh, G3,
G4, and G5, and IBM pSeries systems
-
x86_64
-
64-bit AMD processors such as Athlon64/FX/X2, Turion64, Opteron; and
Intel 64-bit processors such as EM64T
