What do you mean "didn't work"?

You'll want to build your initramfs without the autodetect hook, but otherwise it should be straight forward. All three processors you mentioned are x86_64.

Which one? Core i3, Core i7, and Core 2 Duo are all x86_64 capable processors.

Edit: for the initramfs, check this page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mkinitcpio

Boot up the problematic machine, write down the exact error you get, and post it here. Most of us aren't mind readers, we don't know what you saw.

I already told you what you needed to do and gave you a link to the necessary documentation. Nobody here is going to hold your hand and tell you what to do command by command.,
