What mainstream CPU/hardware platforms are available?

Now, let’s take a quick tour of the most commonplace platforms (and some not-so-common) that can be found being used by companies building embedded Linux systems. Each of these platforms has a unique performance profile and costs. The following platforms have been used by partners that I have worked with in the past decade. Some of these are vastly more popular than others. Let’s dive in.

Xeon™

The Intel Xeon™ processor family has been the flagship of high-performance server and workstation solutions since its introduction in 1998. These processors are commonly used in AI, HPC, database and analytics, and critical application workloads.
