→Supported Architecture
i386 - 32-bit Intel/AMD-compatible
x86_64 - 64-bit Intel/AMD-compatible
There are also a number of secondary archs:
s390 - IBM mainframes (including z90 and z9)
sparc - Sun RISC architecture
Primary architectures are instrumental in the design and development of any fedora release. During the development of a fedora release if any of the primary architecture builds fail, the packages cannot be released. Fedora package maintainers are required to make sure that their package builds properly for this architecture. Users of any linux distrbutions use one of these primary architectures.
Secondary architectures are architectures with motivated Architecture Maintainer Teams, and build hardware. Build failures on secondary architectures are not fatal, unlike builds in the primary architectures, builds are pushed independently of any secondary architecture.
