Slitaz use all the power of a Intel Core i3 and DDR3 RAM type memory?.

Hi.

This is a question for the members or anyone....

The Kernel of Slitaz use all the power of an Intel Core i3 and DDR3 type memory?.

I read that Slitaz optimization is for x86, 486 architecture... Could you explain me in more detail?.

Reading about in this archlinux page:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Repo-ck

Say that i have to put som option for core i3. But, it is possible to compile again the kernel of this distribution?, how?. It's hard, contains dependencies?. Please explain me this.

General Info

The repo contains generic packages as well as CPU-specific packages. Many ARCH users are familiar with the concept of a generic kernel package. The official ARCH kernel is available in two flavors (either i686 or x86_64) which are generic packages in that i686 will work with any compatible x86 CPU and x86_64 will work with any compatible x86_64 CPU.

Users have a choice between the corresponding generic linux-ck packages or CPU-specific and optimized linux-ck packages:

GENERIC

ck-generic ==> Compiled with generic optimizations suitable for any compatible CPU just like the official ARCH linux package. This is true for both Intel and AMD chips.

CPU SPECIFIC AND OPTIMIZED

ck-atom ==> Intel Atom platform specific optimizations. Intel Atom CPUs have an in-order pipelining architecture and thus can benefit from accordingly optimized code.

ck-corex ==> Intel Core 2-family including Dual and Quads (Core 2/Newer Xeon/Mobile Celeron based on Core2) and Core i3/i5/i7-family specific optimizations (Gulftown, Bloomfield, Lynnfield, Clarksfield, Arrendale, and Sandy/Ivybridge CPUs).

ck-kx ==> AMD K7 (Athlon/Athlon XP)/K8 (Athlon 64, Athlon 64 X2, 23xx Quad-Core Barcelona, Sempron, Sempron 64)/K10-family (Athlon X2 7x50, Phenom X3/X4, Phenom II, Athlon II X2/X3/X4, Sempron 64 (Socket AM3 only), 61xx Eight-Core Magny-Cours) specific optimizations. Enables use of some extended instructions, and passes appropriate optimization flags to GCC.

ck-p4 ==> Intel Pentium-4 specific optimizations (P4/P4-based Celeron/Pentium-4 M/Older Xeon).

ck-pentm ==> Intel Pentium-M specific optimizations (Pentium-M notebook chips/not Pentium-4 M).

CPU-specific optimization are invoked at compilation by selecting the corresponding option under Processor type and features>Processor family or by setting-up the .config file accordingly. These changes setup make specific gcc options including the $CFLAGS. For more, see the following files:
