This section provides some architecture-specific information about the specific processors and systems that are supported by each architecture.
[[proc-amd64]]
-=== amd64
+=== AMD Architecture Support (64-bit x86 (amd64))
-Since mid-2003 FreeBSD/amd64 has supported the AMD64 ("Hammer") and Intel(R) EM64T architecture, and is now one of the Tier-1 platforms (fully supported architecture), which are expected to be Production Quality with respects to all aspects of the FreeBSD operating system, including installation and development environments.
-
-Note that there are two names for this architecture, AMD64 (AMD) and Intel EM64T (Extended Memory 64-bit Technology).
-64-bit mode of the two architectures are almost compatible with each other, and FreeBSD/amd64 supports them both.
-
-As of this writing, the following processors are supported:
-
-* AMD Athlon(TM)64 ("Clawhammer").
-* AMD Opteron(TM) ("Sledgehammer").
-* AMD Sempron(TM).
-* AMD Turion(TM).
-* AMD Phenom(TM).
-* All multi-core Intel(R) Xeon(TM) processors except Sossaman have EM64T support.
-* The single-core Intel(R) Xeon(TM) processors "Nocona", "Irwindale", "Potomac", and "Cranford" have EM64T support.
-* All Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 (not Core(TM) Duo) and later processors
-* All Intel(R) Core(TM) i range of processors
-* All Intel(R) Pentium(R) D processors
-* All Intel(R) Centrino(R) Duo and Centrino(R) Pro platforms
-* Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4s and Celeron(R) Ds using the "Cedar Mill" core have EM64T support.
-* Some Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4s and Celeron(R) Ds using the "Prescott" core have EM64T support. See the http://processorfinder.intel.com[Intel Processor Spec Finder] for the definitive answer about EM64T support in Intel processors.
-
-Intel(R) EM64T is an extended version of IA-32 (x86) and different from Intel(R) IA-64 (Itanium) architecture.
-Some of Intel(R)'s old documentation refers to Intel(R) EM64T as "64-bit extension technology" or "IA-32e".
-
-Both Uniprocessor (UP) and Symmetric Multi-processor (SMP) configurations are supported.
-
-In many respects, FreeBSD/amd64 is similar to FreeBSD/i386, in terms of drivers supported.
-Generally, drivers that already function correctly on other 64-bit platforms should work.
+FreeBSD supports the AMD64 ("Hammer") and Intel(R) EM64T architectures.
+AMD64 (also known as x86-64) is a fully-supported Tier 1 architecture.
+AMD64 supports all modern x86 processors.
+This release incorporates optimizations and enhancements to leverage the full capabilities of FreeBSD/amd64-based systems, delivering improved performance across a wide range of workloads.
[[proc-i386]]
-=== i386
-
-FreeBSD/i386 runs on a wide variety of "IBM PC compatible" machines.
-Due to the wide range of hardware available for this architecture, it is impossible to exhaustively list all combinations of equipment supported by FreeBSD.
-Nevertheless, some general guidelines are presented here.
-
-Almost all i386(TM)-compatible processors with a floating point unit are supported.
-All Intel(R) processors beginning with the 80486 are supported, including the 80486, Pentium(R), Pentium(R) Pro, Pentium(R) II, Pentium(R) III, Pentium(R) 4, and variants thereof, such as the Xeon(TM) and Celeron(R) processors.
-All i386(TM)-compatible AMD processors are also supported, including the Am486(R), Am5x86(R), K5, AMD-K6(R) (and variants), AMD Athlon(TM) (including Athlon-MP, Athlon-XP, Athlon-4, and Athlon Thunderbird), and AMD Duron(TM) processors.
-The AMD Élan SC520 embedded processor is supported.
-The Transmeta Crusoe is recognized and supported, as are i386(TM)-compatible processors from Cyrix and NexGen.
-
-There is a wide variety of motherboards available for this architecture.
-Motherboards using the ISA, VLB, EISA, AGP, and PCI expansion buses are well-supported.
-There is some limited support for the MCA ("MicroChannel") expansion bus used in the IBM PS/2 line of PCs.
-
-Symmetric multi-processor (SMP) systems are generally supported by FreeBSD, although in some cases, BIOS or motherboard bugs may generate some problems.
-Perusal of the archives of the link:{freebsd-smp} may yield some clues.
-
-FreeBSD will take advantage of SMT (Symmetric MultiThreading, also known as HyperThreading on Intel(R) CPUs) on the supported CPUs.
-The `GENERIC` kernel which is installed by default will automatically detect the additional logical processors.
-The default FreeBSD scheduler recognizes processor topology on the system and selects logical and physical processors to obtain optimal performance.
-The man:smp[4] manual page has more details.
-
-FreeBSD will take advantage of Physical Address Extensions (PAE) support on CPUs that support this feature.
-A kernel with the `PAE` feature enabled will detect memory above 4 gigabytes and allow it to be used by the system.
-This feature places constraints on the device drivers and other features of FreeBSD which may be used; consult the man:pae[4] manual page for more details.
-
-FreeBSD will generally run on i386-based laptops, albeit with varying levels of support for certain hardware features such as sound, graphics, power management, and PCCARD expansion slots.
-These features tend to vary in idiosyncratic ways between machines, and frequently require special-case support in FreeBSD to work around hardware bugs or other oddities.
-
-Most modern laptops (as well as many desktops) use the Advanced Configuration and Power Management (ACPI) standard.
-FreeBSD supports ACPI via the ACPI Component Architecture reference implementation from Intel(R), as described in the man:acpi[4] manual page.
-The use of ACPI causes instabilities on some machines and it may be necessary to disable the ACPI driver, which is normally loaded via a kernel module.
-This may be accomplished by adding the following line to `/boot/device.hints`:
-
-[.programlisting]
-....
-hint.acpi.0.disabled="1"
-....
-
-Users debugging ACPI-related problems may find it useful to disable portions of the ACPI functionality.
-The man:acpi[4] manual page has more information on how to do this via loader tunables.
-
-ACPI depends on a Differentiated System Descriptor Table (DSDT) provided by each machine's BIOS.
-Some machines have bad or incomplete DSDTs, which prevents ACPI from functioning correctly.
-Replacement DSDTs for some machines can be found at the http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/index.php[DSDT] section of the http://acpi.sourceforge.net/[ACPI4Linux] project Web site.
-FreeBSD can use these DSDTs to override the DSDT provided by the BIOS; see the man:acpi[4] manual page for more information.
+=== i386 Architecture Support
+
+While FreeBSD continues to evolve and optimize for modern architectures, we are committed to maintaining support for the venerable i386 (x86) architecture in this release.
+Although i386 hardware is becoming less common, FreeBSD remains a reliable and versatile choice for those who still rely on it, whether for legacy systems or specific use cases.
