<p>This page contains information of the FreeBSD port to <a
|
|
href="http://www.amd.com/">AMD's</a> AMD64 and <a
|
|
href="http://www.intel.com/info/em64t">Intel®
|
|
64</a> architecture, often also known as <q>x86-64</q> or
|
|
<q>x64</q>. &os;/amd64 is suitable for almost all recent
|
|
AMD and Intel CPUs.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The
|
|
AMD64 architecture was previously known as <q>Hammer</q>.
|
|
The Intel 64 architecture was previously known as Yamhill,
|
|
Clackamas Technology (CT), IA-32e, and EM64T (Extended Memory 64-bit
|
|
Technology).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Newer AMD Sempron™, the AMD Opteron™, AMD Athlon™
|
|
64, AMD Turion™ and AMD Phenom™ processors, and processors
|
|
with AMD <q>Bulldozer</q> and <q>Bobcat</q> cores all use the AMD64
|
|
architecture.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The Intel vPro™, Intel Celeron D (some models since <q>Prescott</q>),
|
|
Intel Centrino® Duo, Intel Centrino® Pro,
|
|
Intel Viiv™, Intel Core™2 Extreme, Intel Core™2 Quad,
|
|
Intel Core™2 Duo, Intel Xeon (3000-sequence, 5000-sequence, and
|
|
7000-sequence), and the Intel Core™ i range of processors use
|
|
the Intel® 64 architecture.</p>

<h3>Status</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>FreeBSD/amd64 runs in 64-bit multiuser mode, in both
|
|
Uniprocessor and Multiprocessor mode.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The AMD64 platform is a <a
|
|
href="&base;/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/committers-guide/archs.html">Tier
|
|
1</a> FreeBSD platform.</p>
