There were a lot of Socket 7 CPUs. From VIA/AMD/IBM to a dozen of smaller alternatives I wouldn't be able to recall already.
Cyrix
That's a name I haven't heard in forever
Ah I see. So all 486 CPUs and early 586 clones with original Pentiums still being supported.
Well, it doesn't mean anything. They want to drop support for CPUs that lack some capabilities. So which CPUs will stay supported and which not depends on the presence of the needed command set in the CPU.
