What is the difference between i386, i486, i586, i686, i786
Ever wondered what are those words i386/i486/i586/i686/i786 that comes after the name of RPM / DEB packages?
When it comes to understanding the compatibility of a package between different architectures, knowing these terms become important. The above coined terms are Processor architectures. Let’s have a look below…
i386 – Intel i386/80386 (in 1985) or AMD386 / AM386 (in 1991)
i486 – Intel i486/80486 (in 1989) or AMD486 / AM486 (in 1993)
i586 – Intel Pentium (in 1993) or AMD-K5 (in 1996)
i686 – Intel Pentium Pro (in 1995) or AMD-K6 (in 1997)
i786 – Intel Pentium 4 (in 2000) or AMD-K7 (in 1999)
