Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Linux for x86 or Intel
If x86 is a generic term for Intel and x86 (which is what I always
thought) then why would there be two sets of Oracle release notes on the
same web page? One says it is for Intel and the other one is for x86?
Thanks!
Ron

Yes, you had answer to this. Let me just repeat: "x86" is a generic=20
term for Intel, AMD, VIa, Transmeta, etc processors. Intel are Intel=20
processors and these might include things like "x86" compatible CPUs=20
(Pentiums, for example) and Itanium chips.
You should order "x86" if plan to use "x86" chips (either form Intel=20 or AMD or any other of those).
