SOLVED FreeNAS 11U4 says AMD but should be intel

[DrSvanHay]

Hey,

I've just installed FreeNAS 11U4 using the downloadable installer.

Code:

sysctl -a | egrep -i 'hw.machine|hw.model|hw.ncpu'

says

Code:

hw.machine: amd64
hw.model: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU D-1541 @ 2.10GHz
hw.ncpu: 16
hw.machine_arch: amd64

the processor is right, AMD is frightening, since it´s obviously not AMD.

Code:

uname -a

says

Code:

FreeBSD doncamillo.local 11.0-STABLE FreeBSD 11.0-STABLE #0 r321665+25fe8ba8d06(freenas/11.0-stable): Mon Sep 25 06:24:11 UTC 2017	 root@gauntlet:/freenas-11-releng/freenas/_BE/objs/freenas-11-releng/freenas/_BE/os/sys/FreeNAS.amd64  amd64

which contains again the scary three letters.

I suppose this is not right, is it? Should I do something about this? If yes, what to do about this?

Right now fiddling with the OS is relatively convenient since I've just started to move data to the machine.

amd64 is the name of the instruction set. AMD created it first, so that's what it was called: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64

So... no problem, all is well.

Everything is correct, intel using amd64 instruction, because the intel IA64 was big fail.
Please read about amd64 instruction.
