Linux fully supports both Intel and AMD processors. The kernel can be compiled so that it is optimized for a particular processor subarchitecture and exclude processor quirks workarounds, but there is no configuration option for outright blacklisting a CPU manufacturer.

What are the differeneces between Intel and amd processors in CPUs?
Intel = buissness and work AMD= gaming and raw power
What is better then AMD or Intel processors?
Intel tends to make better processors than AMD.
What are 2 major manufactures of processors?
The two major manufacturers of processors are Intel and AMD
What are the names of Intel's and AMD's budget lines of processors?
Celeron for Intel and Sempron for AMD
What is the difference between Intel and AMD?
Obviously different companies, but besides that AMD processors mu go in motherboard that use an AMD socket and Intel processors must go into an Intel based socket. Intel processors seem to be a bit more expensive but Intel is on top with the newest technology. Many AMD "fans" would argue this.
Why are Intel processors said to be better processors than AMD processors?
In many ways the AMD processor is considered to be significantly better than the Intel. Intel is attempting to improve their image by adding new features, and AMD is doing much the same.
Are AMD processors supported in Red Hat Enterprise Linux?
Red Hat Enterprise Linux uses a generic kernel that will run on any relatively modern x86 processor, including those from Intel, AMD, VIA, and Transmeta.
What is the difference between Intel microprocessors and Advance Micro device processors?
Intel processors and AMD processors use a different architecture and AMD tends to be a little bit behind. Intel is working on 14nm and is currently at 22nm, while AMD just now advanced to 28nm.
What 2 manufactures produce processors?
Intel & AMD
Which processor is used in Linux for desktops?
Linux can be run on a variety of processors, including several that have been used for desktop systems. The most notable would be Intel and AMD x86 processors, as well as PowerPC processors (used in older Macs. ) Other processors used in desktop systems now or in the past and supported by Linux include Motorola 68k processors, Alpha processors, MIPS processors, and ARM processors.
Can Linux be used on other systems that run Intel compatible processors?
Yes. Linux has been ported to over a dozen CPU architectures, such as PowerPC, SPARC, Alpha, MIPS, SH-3, SH-4, ARM, and the Motorola 68k. P.S. - AMD processors are considered Intel-compatible.
What operating systems do amd and Intel processors support?
They both support Windows, Linux (& other Unix variants such as BSD), and can also support Mac OS X. However, most Mac OS X use primarily Intel instead of AMD.
