Hardware Prerequisite Page does not list support for Intel® Xeon™ Processor

Technote (FAQ)
Problem
The WebSphere® Application Server Hardware Prerequisites Page does not specifically indicate support for Intel® Xeon™ processors. The support page does indicate the minimum product levels required to be considered a supported environment.
Solution
The WebSphere Application Server - System requirements - IBM Software prerequisites page indicates the minimum hardware and software requirements for WebSphere Application Server. The site references minimum hardware requirements for Intel Pentium processors (or equivalent) at 500 Mhz or faster. The Xeon processor is an Intel chip design that exceeds the minimum processor requirements.
