The amd64 architecture is intended for use on AMD 64-bit CPUs as well as 64-bit Intel Pentium/Core/Xeon processors.

While the core system packages within the stage files work fine in the main gentoo repository, musl-specific fixes for additional packages can be found in the musl overlay. If you encounter problems, you may want to consider adding this overlay to your installation. Instructions how to do so can be found, e.g., on the page of the Hardened musl project. Please file bugs!

For details of the arm architecture, please see the corresponding wikipedia page. Note that in Gentoo arm refers to 32bit variants; the 64bit variants can be found as arm64.

The ia64 architecture is intended for use on Intel Itanium processors only.
If you have a 64-bit Intel Pentium/Core/Xeon processor, you need to use the amd64 architecture.

PowerPC CPUs can operate in two modes: big-endian and little-endian.

• The ppc and ppc64 stages are big-endian stages and can be used with any PowerPC CPU, including some old Apple™ hardware.
• The ppc64le stages are little-endian stages and are created for running on POWER8 and newer CPUs.
• The power9le stages are little-endian stages optimized exclusively for POWER9 CPUs.

The lp64d stages can be used on all 64-bit RISC-V processors supporting the double-precision floating point instruction set. The lp64 stages can be used on all 64-bit RISC-V processors; they require no hardware support for floating point arithmetics.

There are two builds of the x86 architecture: i486 and i686.
Processors prior to the Intel Pentium Pro or Pentium II require the i486 variant to be used.
