[edit] Pentium M(Centrino)/Celeron M

vendor_id  : GenuineIntel
cpu family  : 6
model  : 9 or 13
model name  : Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor XXXXMHz

For gcc 3.3 or older:

CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -msse2 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

For gcc 3.4 and later:

CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=pentium-m -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

The Celeron M is based on the Pentium M but it has half the L2 cache and does not support the SpeedStep technology.

[edit] Pentium 4 (Prescott) / Celeron D

vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 15
model : 3 or 4
model name  : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU XXXGHz -or- Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU XXXGHz

32-bit profile (x86):

CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=prescott -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

64-bit profile (amd64):

CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=nocona -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
Note: You can verify the chip is a Prescott by looking for pni in the flags section of /proc/cpuinfo. This indicates support for SSE3.

In 2004, Intel started branding processors with the Prescott core as Intel Celeron D.

[edit] Intel Core Solo/Duo, Pentium Dual-Core T20xx/T21xx

vendor_id  : GenuineIntel
cpu family  : 6
model  : 14, 22
model name  : Genuine Intel(R) CPU TXXXX @ XXXGHz
model name  : Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 220 @ 1.20GHz
model name  : Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 4X0 @ XXXGHz
model name  : Intel(R) Celeron(R) M CPU 4X0  @ XXXGHz

CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=prescott -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

Notes:

  • It has been confirmed by hongjiu.lu@intel.com that prescott is the correct microarchitecture to use with this CPU. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gcc.devel/83870
  • The newer (eg. 420) Celeron-M processors are Core Solo based, not Pentium-M based. If your processor's family and model are 6 and 14, then you should use the -march=prescott option.
  • Both the Celeron 4x0 and 220 run fine with Processor family (Pentium M) selected in the kernel.

[edit] Core 2 Duo/Quad, Xeon 51xx/53xx/54xx, Pentium Dual-Core T23xx+/Exxxx, Celeron Dual-Core

vendor_id  : GenuineIntel
cpu family  : 6
model  : 15
model name  : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU XXXX @ XXXGHz

32 bit profile (x86):

CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=prescott -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

64 bit profile (amd64):

CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=nocona -O2 -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

32 bit Gentoo FreeBSD:

CHOST="i686-gentoo-freebsd6.2"
CFLAGS="-march=prescott -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
CXXFLAGS="$CFLAGS"
Note: If you are using GCC 4.3 or higher, you can use the -march=core2 flag with your Intel Core2 Processor. (See the change log). If you have a "penryn" model you can use the -msse4.1 flag to pull in sse 4.1 optimizations (check for sse4_1 in /proc/cpuinfo)

[edit] Core i7

vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
cpu family      : 6
model           : 26
model name      : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU         920  @ 2.67GHz

32 bit profile (x86) - for <sys-devel/gcc-4.3:

CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=nocona -fomit-frame-pointer"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

32 bit profile (x86) - for >=sys-devel/gcc-4.3:

CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=core2 -msse4 -mcx16 -msahf -fomit-frame-pointer"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

64 bit profile (amd64) - for <sys-devel/gcc-4.3

CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=nocona -O2 -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

64 bit profile (amd64) - for >=sys-devel/gcc-4.3

CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=core2 -msse4 -mcx16 -msahf -O2 -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
Note: You can also add -msse4.1 -msse4.2 for increased xml support as the cpu supports parsing 16 bytes at once

[edit] Atom N270

For GCC < 4.3:

CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=prescott -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

For GCC 4.3+: Generate code for Intel Core processor family, but with generic instruction tuning suitable for the Atom's in-order execution engine. (-fomit-frame-pointer is optional. If you're not using the machine for debugging, you can safely add this flag and it will free up an extra register):

CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=core2 -mtune=generic -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="$CFLAGS"

[edit] Atom 330

32 bit profile (x86):

CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=prescott -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

64 bit profile (amd64):

CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=nocona -O2 -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
MAKEOPTS="-j5"

64 bit profile (amd64) & GCC 4.3.2, core2 gives ~15% more performance & yields stable builds.

CFLAGS="-march=core2 -O2 -pipe"
