Viewing the handbook
This suggestion was accepted. The information at Handbook:Main Page#Viewing the handbook is no longer presented as a table.
Here are two alternatives for presenting the table at Handbook:Main Page#Viewing the handbook in ways better suited to viewing on the console (as many users will be doing when they begin to install Gentoo).
As a table
| Architecture | Description |
|---|---|
| alpha | The Alpha architecture is a 64-bit architecture developed by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC). It is still in use by some mid-range and high-end servers, but the architecture is slowly being faded out. (ES40, AlphaPC, UP1000, Noname)
|
| amd64 | AMD64 is a 64-bit architecture that is compatible with the x86 architecture (and thus also known as x86_64). It was first used by AMD (under the AMD64 name) and Intel (under the EM64T name) and is now the most prominent architecture for medium and high-end desktop PCs. It is also commonly found in the server segment. (AMD Athlon 64, AMD Opteron, AMD Sempron processors, AMD Phenom, Intel Pentium 4, Intel Core2, Intel Core i3, i5, i7, some Intel Atom variants)
|
| arm | ARM is a 32-bit architecture that is a very popular in embedded and small systems. Sub-architectures range from ARMv1 to ARMv7 (Cortex) and are often found in smart phones, tablets, hand-held consoles, end-user GPS navigation systems, etc. (StrongARM, Cortex-M)
|
| arm64 | ARM64 is a new 64-bit variant of ARM for embedded and server systems. The only sub-architecture is ARMv8 and includes the Cortex-A53, and Cortex-A57 processors which are starting to appear in a variety of SoCs in developer boards, smart phones, tablets etc. (Cortex-A53, Cortex-A57)
|
| hppa | Referred to as HPPA, the PA-RISC architecture is an instruction set developed by Hewlett-Packard and was used in their mid- and high-end server series until about 2008 (after which HP started using Intel Itanium). (HP 9000, PA-8600)
|
| ia64 | IA64 is a 64-bit architecture designed by Intel and used in their Intel Itanium processor series. This architecture is not compatible with x86 or x86_64 (a.k.a. amd64) and is mostly found in medium and high-end server series. (Intel Itanium)
|
| mips | Developed by MIPS Technologies, the MIPS architecture comprises multiple subfamilies (called revisions) such as MIPS I, MIPS III, MIPS32, MIPS64 and more. MIPS is most common in embedded systems. (MIPS32 1074K, R16000)
|
| ppc | PPC is a 32-bit architecture used by many Apple, IBM and Motorola processors. They are most commonly found in embedded systems. (Apple OldWorld, Apple NewWorld, generi Pegasos, Efika, older IBM iSeries and pSeries)
|
| ppc64 | PPC64 is the 64-bit variant of the PPC architecture, popular in both embedded as well as high-end performance servers. (IBM RS/6000s, IBM pSeries, IBM iSeries)
|
| sparc | The SPARC architecture is best known by its most common producers, Sun (now Oracle) and Fujitsu. It is used in server systems although a few workstations exist as well. In Gentoo, only SPARC64-compatible CPUs are supported. (E3000, Blade 1000, Ultra 2)
|
| x86 | X86 is a 32-bit architecture used by CPUs that are often said to be "Intel compatible". It was until recently the most popular architecture for desktop PCs. Gentoo offers builds for i486 (supports all families) and i686 (supports Pentium and higher or compatible). (i486, i686, AMD Athlon, Intel Core, Intel Atom)
