Talk:X86 Assembly/X86 Family

First 686?
Which one was the first 686? And perhaps add info relating to which ones are 64 bit?

Where is VIA, Cyrix and all the others?
This page pretty much assumes that Intel and AMD are the only x86 vendors -- which is not true. VIA still has the most power efficient processors compared to performance and afaik VIA is the only vendor which has on-chip encryption.

The Core ix chips from Intel (which are different enough to reward mentioning) are also not mentioned -- nor is Larrabee (although since there has yet to be a release I can live with it not being mentioned -- besides, it's not a CPU and won't be able to run an operating system).

Microprocessor word length
This sentence does not read as expected (section Intel x86 Microprocessors, "80386 (1985)"):

It was the first Intel microprocessor with a 32-bit word.

It could refer to instructions taking 32-bit operands. Or CPU registers with a length of 32 bit.

In any case I think it should be phrased differently.

AMD years
I am missing years in the titles for the AMD CPUs (as for Intel).

Should there be a citation related to the trademark statement?
Maybe `Intel called it the “Pentium” because they couldn't trademark the code number “80586”.` should have a citation, perhaps to , but I don't have time at the moment to look into how to add a citation and whether this page is even supposed to have them. 129.110.241.106 (discuss) 15:51, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
