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,
18	  UMC 486SX-S and the NexGen Nx586.
19
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:
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.
40	  - "Winchip-2" for IDT Winchips with 3dNow! capabilities.
41	  - "GeodeGX1" for Geode GX1 (Cyrix MediaGX).
42	  - "Geode GX/LX" For AMD Geode GX and LX processors.
43	  - "CyrixIII/VIA C3" for VIA Cyrix III or VIA C3.
44	  - "VIA C3-2" for VIA C3-2 "Nehemiah" (model 9 and above).
45	  - "VIA C7" for VIA C7.
46
47	  If you don't know what to do, choose "486".

72	bool "Pentium-Pro"
73	depends on X86_32
74	---help---
75	  Select this for Intel Pentium Pro chips.  This enables the use of
76	  Pentium Pro extended instructions, and disables the init-time guard
77	  against the f00f bug found in earlier Pentiums.

81	depends on X86_32
82	---help---
83	  Select this for Intel chips based on the Pentium-II and
84	  pre-Coppermine Celeron core.  This option enables an unaligned

190	  Select this for an IDT Winchip-2, 2A or 3.  Linux and GCC
191	  treat this chip as a 586TSC with some extended instructions
192	  and alignment requirements.  Also enable out of order memory
193	  stores for this CPU, which can increase performance of some

216config MCYRIXIII
217	bool "CyrixIII/VIA-C3"
218	depends on X86_32
219	---help---
220	  Select this for a Cyrix III or C3 chip.  Presently Linux and GCC
221	  treat this chip as a generic 586. Whilst the CPU is 686 class,
222	  it lacks the cmov extension which gcc assumes is present when
223	  generating 686 code.
224	  Note that Nehemiah (Model 9) and above will not boot with this
225	  kernel due to them lacking the 3DNow! instructions used in earlier
226	  incarnations of the CPU.
227
228config MVIAC3_2
229	bool "VIA C3-2 (Nehemiah)"
230	depends on X86_32
231	---help---
232	  Select this for a VIA C3 "Nehemiah". Selecting this enables usage
233	  of SSE and tells gcc to treat the CPU as a 686.
234	  Note, this kernel will not boot on older (pre model 9) C3s.
235
236config MVIAC7
237	bool "VIA C7"
238	depends on X86_32
239	---help---

247	  Optimize for Intel Pentium 4, Pentium D and older Nocona/Dempsey
248	  Xeon CPUs with Intel 64bit which is compatible with x86-64.
249	  Note that the latest Xeons (Xeon 51xx and 53xx) are not based on the
250	  Netburst core and shouldn't use this option. You can distinguish them
251	  using the cpu family field
252	  in /proc/cpuinfo. Family 15 is an older Xeon, Family 6 a newer one.
253
254config MCORE2
255	bool "Core 2/newer Xeon"
256	---help---
257
258	  Select this for Intel Core 2 and newer Core 2 Xeons (Xeon 51xx and
259	  53xx) CPUs. You can distinguish newer from older Xeons by the CPU
260	  family in /proc/cpuinfo. Newer ones have 6 and older ones 15
261	  (not a typo)
262
263config MATOM
264	bool "Intel Atom"

266
267	  Select this for the Intel Atom platform. Intel Atom CPUs have an
268	  in-order pipelining architecture and thus can benefit from
269	  accordingly optimized code. Use a recent GCC with specific Atom
270	  support in order to fully benefit from selecting this option.

284	---help---
285	  Instead of just including optimizations for the selected
286	  x86 variant (e.g. PII, Crusoe or Athlon), include some more
287	  generic optimizations as well. This will make the kernel
288	  perform better on x86 CPUs other than that selected.
