Debian 9 supports ten different architectures including: 64-bit PC / Intel EM64T / x86-64 (amd64), 32-bit PC / Intel IA-32 (i386), 64-bit little-endian Motorola/IBM PowerPC (ppc64el), 64-bit IBM S/390 (s390x), for ARM, armel and armhf for older and more recent 32-bit hardware, s arm64 for the 64-bit “AArch64” architecture,  32-bit mips (big-endian) and mipsel (little-endian) and mips64el architecture for 64-bit little-endian hardware.
