- The following CPU specifications are stated in terms of Intel
- processors. Other processors, such as those from AMD, Cyrix, and
- VIA that are compatible with and equivalent to the following
- Intel processors, may also be used with Fedora. Fedora 16
- requires an Intel Pentium Pro or better processor, and is
- optimized for i686 and later processors.
+ Fedora 16 may be installed on most "modern" x86
+ processors. (There are some "secondary architectures" supported
+ by special interest groups for processors like Power PC,
+ System/390 and ARM).
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ The minimum processor speed depends on the end use, the method
+ of installation, and the specific hardware. Although some
+ configurations might work on a Pentium 3, most users should
+ consider a Pentium 4 or more modern processor, or the equivalent
+ processor from other manufacturers. Fedora 16 is able to take
+ full advantage of modern, multi-core architectures.
