Rep:
Installing any OS doesn't depend that which processor you're using. The processor is to give power, processing to your machine with it's own capability.
You go for any processor, definitely linux can be installed on your machine.
Good luck!
It's not whether the distro supports the processor, its' whether the kernel that the distro uses supports the processor. Most certainly, the kernel will support the processors you mentioned.
As mentioned, it's best to verify that the rest of the hardware is supported.
