According to their now deleted Reddit account, it will use a custom Proton build on Intel and Zen 4 CPUs. For every other CPU you will need a kernel module.
Correction: usermode is only supported by zen4 (or newer) and intel Ivy Bridge (or newer).
The reason is pretty simple: only from those generations onwards a new instruction was added (cpuid faulting) which is executed in the hardware itself, old generations simply lacks the silicon for it.
cpu faulting is used to trap usermode cpuid calls and can be used to return spoofed values, without needing an hypervisor.
If ivy bridge then from 3 gen which means pretty much any Intel made from 2012.
But for AMD from 7000 series which means CPU from 2022.
It sucks to be AMD user.
yeah, more on that: linux kernel has support for cpuid faulting for supported intel cpus since 2017, while amd since only last year. Not sure why amd was slower on this.
