This section lists the CPU-optimized Funtoo Linux builds currently available for download for generic_64. The generic_64 subarch is designed to support all 64-bit PC-compatible CPUs (x86_64), from their initial release in 2003 to current.

Architecture and Optimization
The following settings are applied to all stages for this subarch via Funtoo subarch profiles:
| CHOST | x86_64-pc-linux-gnu |
| CFLAGS | -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe |
docker pull funtoo/stage3-generic_64. See Docker for more info.
This subarch will run on all 64-bit PCs, but unless you need universal compatibility you may not get the absolute best performance from this build of Funtoo. Consider using a more optimized build that meets all of your compatibility requirements. For example, intel64-nehalem is more optimized but will still be compatible with all 64-bit Intel processors released since 2008 and all AMD processors released since 2011 (amd64-bulldozer and above.) If you need a build of Funtoo that will run on multiple systems, consider generic_64-v2, generic_64-v3 or generic_64-v4 which contain more modern instruction sets.

AMD desktop 64-bit CPUs include the Athlon 64, Athlon 64 FX, Athlon 64 X2, Athlon X2, Turion 64, Turion 64 X2 and Sempron series processors. AMD server processors were released under the Opteron brand and have codenames SledgeHammer, Venus, Troy, Athens, Denmark, Italy, Egypt, Santa Ana and Santa Rosa.
