	  This is the processor type of your CPU. This information is
	  used for optimizing purposes. In order to compile a kernel
	  that can run on all supported x86 CPU types (albeit not
	  optimally fast), you can specify "486" here.

	  Note that the 386 is no longer supported, this includes
	  AMD/Cyrix/Intel 386DX/DXL/SL/SLC/SX, Cyrix/TI 486DLC/DLC2,
14
	  UMC 486SX-S and the NexGen Nx586.
15 16 17 18 19 20 21

	  The kernel will not necessarily run on earlier architectures than
	  the one you have chosen, e.g. a Pentium optimized kernel will run on
	  a PPro, but not necessarily on a i486.

	  Here are the settings recommended for greatest speed:
	  - "486" for the AMD/Cyrix/IBM/Intel 486DX/DX2/DX4 or
22
	    SL/SLC/SLC2/SLC3/SX/SX2 and UMC U5D or U5S.
23
	  - "586" for generic Pentium CPUs lacking the TSC
24
	    (time stamp counter) register.
25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32
	  - "Pentium-Classic" for the Intel Pentium.
	  - "Pentium-MMX" for the Intel Pentium MMX.
	  - "Pentium-Pro" for the Intel Pentium Pro.
	  - "Pentium-II" for the Intel Pentium II or pre-Coppermine Celeron.
	  - "Pentium-III" for the Intel Pentium III or Coppermine Celeron.
	  - "Pentium-4" for the Intel Pentium 4 or P4-based Celeron.
	  - "K6" for the AMD K6, K6-II and K6-III (aka K6-3D).
	  - "Athlon" for the AMD K7 family (Athlon/Duron/Thunderbird).
33
	  - "Opteron/Athlon64/Hammer/K8" for all K8 and newer AMD CPUs.
34 35 36
	  - "Crusoe" for the Transmeta Crusoe series.
	  - "Efficeon" for the Transmeta Efficeon series.
	  - "Winchip-C6" for original IDT Winchip.
37
	  - "Winchip-2" for IDT Winchips with 3dNow! capabilities.
38
	  - "AMD Elan" for the 32-bit AMD Elan embedded CPU.
39
	  - "GeodeGX1" for Geode GX1 (Cyrix MediaGX).
40
	  - "Geode GX/LX" For AMD Geode GX and LX processors.
41
	  - "CyrixIII/VIA C3" for VIA Cyrix III or VIA C3.
E
Egry Gabor 已提交
42
	  - "VIA C3-2" for VIA C3-2 "Nehemiah" (model 9 and above).
43
	  - "VIA C7" for VIA C7.
44 45 46 47 48 49 50
	  - "Intel P4" for the Pentium 4/Netburst microarchitecture.
	  - "Core 2/newer Xeon" for all core2 and newer Intel CPUs.
	  - "Intel Atom" for the Atom-microarchitecture CPUs.
	  - "Generic-x86-64" for a kernel which runs on any x86-64 CPU.

	  See each option's help text for additional details. If you don't know
	  what to do, choose "486".
