The Funtoo Linux project has transitioned to "Hobby Mode" and this wiki is now read-only.
Download - Amd64-excavator
This section lists the CPU-optimized Funtoo Linux builds currently available for download for amd64-excavator. The amd64-excavator subarch supports the AMD excavator microarchitecture, produced from 2015. It is the successor to the AMD Steamroller microarchitecture and will be the last revision of the 'bulldozer' family of processors, and is succeeded by AMD Ryzen processors. These processors also include the Bristol Ridge/Carizzo and Stoney Ridge APUs such as the AMD Athlon FX 9830P that include excavator cores along with integrated graphics cores.
No downloadable stage builds are currently available for this sub-architecture.
