Linux Kernel Configuration
└─>Support Intel processors
In linux kernel since version 2.6.28 (release Date: 2008-12-24)  
This enables detection, tunings and quirks for Intel processors

You need this enabled if you want your kernel to run on an
Intel CPU. Disabling this option on other types of CPUs
makes the kernel a tiny bit smaller. Disabling it on an Intel
CPU might render the kernel unbootable.

If unsure, say N.
