I have a host with FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE (64 bit) installed.
How do I check the host's architecture ?
 
When I run: "uname -m"
the output is: "amd64"
 
When I run: "sysctl -a | less"
and search for: "CPU"
I see that:
"hw.model: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU            5140  @ 2.33GHz
...
hw.machine_arch: amd64"
 
So, is this host's architecture is:
Intel or AMD
 
I'm confused about it.
Can someone help ?
 
 
Thanks,
Eitan
