Xen currently runs on the x86, x86_64, IA64 (Itanium) and ARM architectures. On x86 Xen requires a “P6” or newer processor (that’s any Intel or AMD x86 CPU purchased in the last seven years). Multiprocessor and multicore machines are supported, including support for Hyper-Threading (SMT). Support for x86/64 is available since Xen 3.0. We hope to add other architectures such as PPC.

Xen currently runs only on the x86 architecture, requiring a “P6” or newer processor (that’s any Intel or AMD x86 CPU purchased in the last five years). Multiprocessor machines are supported, including basic support for Hyper-Threading (SMT). Support for x86/64 is available since Xen 3.0. In addition a port to the IA64 architecture is approaching completion. We hope to add other architectures such as PPC and ARM in due course.
