+title: Choosing between the generic and optimized build
+---
+
+This [[guides/index|guide]] provides an overview of the differences between the generic and optimized builds of Zen, so you can make an informed decision on which version to use.

+## Supported CPUs for optimized builds
+
+> [!warning]
+> If your computer's processor doesn't belong to any of the following processor families, the optimized version won't work on your device. Please install the generic version instead.
