Wich architecture is my processor??

Asked by DarkJavi

I'm playing with apt-build, and wondering witch is my specific architecture, when configuring i've the folowing options:

nocona
core2
k8
opteron
athlon64
athlon-fx
k8-sse3
opteron-sse3
athlon64-sse3
amdfam10
barcelona

I'm choosing athlon64, but not sure if is the best choice for my processor.

This is the output for cat /proc/cpuinfo (4 cores, pasted just the last one)

if you kept the manual that came with the computer, it will say on the specs page. you can also google the model of your computer for its spec sheet.

Thanks for the quick answer :)

Where I could find further information about cpu models and matching compile architecture?
I want to cook 3 or 4 ubuntus optimizated for an specific architecture, to check if there is any performance improvement. Also, any idea on how to measure the worth of it?
