OpenBSD/amd64 runs on AMD's Athlon-64 family of processors in 64-bit mode. !
- It also runs on the Intel ia32e processors which contain cloned - support for the AMD64 extensions, but since Intel left out support for - the page table NXE bit (No-EXecute) there is no W^X support on the Intel - CPUs. - -
Note that OpenBSD/i386 also runs on these processors, but in 32-bit mode. --- 21,31 ----
OpenBSD/amd64 runs on AMD's Athlon-64 family of processors in 64-bit mode. ! It also runs on processors made by other manufacturers which have cloned ! the AMD64 extensions. (Some Intel processors lack support for important ! PAE NX bit, which means those machines will run without any W^X support -- ! it is thus safer to run those machines in i386 mode).
Note that OpenBSD/i386 also runs on these
processors, but in 32-bit mode.
