OpenBSD/amd64
OpenBSD/amd64 runs on AMD's Athlon-64 family of processors in 64-bit mode.
-
It also runs on the upcoming 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.
