P6 family processors are IA-32 processors based on the P6 family microarchitecture.
This includes the Pentium
® Pro, Pentium ® II, Pentium ® III, and Pentium ® III Xeon ®
processors.
The Pentium
® 4, Pentium ® D, and Pentium ® processor Extreme Editions are based
on the Intel NetBurst ® microarchitecture. Most early Intel ® Xeon ® processors are
based on the Intel NetBurst ® microarchitecture. Intel Xeon processor 5000, 7100
series are based on the Intel NetBurst ® microarchitecture.
The Intel ® Core™ Duo, Intel ® Core™ Solo and dual-core Intel ® Xeon ® processor LV
are based on an improved Pentium ® M processor microarchitecture.
The Intel ® Xeon ® processor 3000, 3200, 5100, 5300, and 7300 series, Intel ®
Pentium ® dual-core, Intel ® Core™2 Duo, Intel ® Core™2 Quad, and Intel ® Core™2
Extreme processors are based on Intel ® Core™ microarchitecture.
P6 family, Pentium ® M, Intel ® Core™ Solo, Intel ® Core™ Duo processors, dual-core
Intel ® Xeon ® processor LV, and early generations of Pentium 4 and Intel Xeon
processors support IA-32 architecture.
The Intel
® Xeon ® processor 3000, 3200, 5000, 5100, 5300, 7100, 7300 series,
Intel ® Core™2 Duo, Intel ® Core™2 Extreme, Intel ® Core™2 Quad processors,
Pentium ® D processors, Pentium ® Dual-Core processor, newer generations of
Pentium 4 and Intel Xeon processor family support Intel ® 64 architecture.
IA-32 architecture is the instruction set architecture and programming environment
for Intel's 32-bit microprocessors.
Intel
® 64 architecture is the instruction set architecture and programming environ-
ment which is the superset of Intel’s 32-bit and 64-bit architectures. It is compatible
with the IA-32 architecture.
