Enumeration Values

The ProcessorArchitectures simple type defines the following values.

Value	Description
x86	Computer systems designed to run using Intel and compatible processors.
ia64	Intel Itanium processor. An Intel microprocessor based on the 64-bit Explicitly Parallel Instruction Computing (EPIC) architecture.
amd64	AMD 64-bit processor.
wow64	Microsoft Windows-32-bit-On-Windows-64-bit. An operating system component in 64-bit Windows that supports 32-bit x86 platform applications.
msil	Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL). MSIL is the CPU-independent instruction set that is generated by the Microsoft .NET Framework compilers and consumed by the .NET Framework's common language runtime. Before MSIL can be executed, it must be converted to native, CPU-specific code by the common language runtime.
shx	Not supported.
arm	Advanced RISC Machine (ARM). ARMs are small, high-performance, 32-bit RISC-based microprocessors licensed to various semiconductor manufacturers by designer ARM Ltd.
data	Not supported.
