Summary

Update the evonode hardware requirements note to explicitly reference the x86-64-v3 microarchitecture level instead of the vague "Haswell or newer" language.

Changes

  • Replaces the generic "Intel CPUs should be Haswell architecture or newer" note with specific x86-64-v3 targeting information
  • Notes that most Intel Haswell (2013+) and AMD Excavator (2015+) CPUs support this level
  • Calls out the known incompatibility with certain Xeon E5 v3 steppings (TSX disabled via microcode)
  • Notes ARM64 host support

Context

Platform release builds have targeted x86-64-v3 since PR dashpay/platform#2374 (Dec 2024). Issue dashpay/platform#2442 reported that certain Haswell-era Xeon processors fail at runtime despite nominally supporting the x86-64-v3 instruction set. The previous docs language was misleading.

Closes dashpay/platform#2442

Preview build: https://dash-docs--570.org.readthedocs.build/en/570/

Update the evonode hardware requirements note to explicitly reference the
x86-64-v3 microarchitecture level instead of the vague 'Haswell or newer'
language. Notes that some older Haswell-era processors (e.g. Xeon E5 v3
with TSX disabled) may not be compatible, and that ARM64 is supported.

Closes dashpay/platform#2442
