The x86 category includes information covering Intels 8086,186,286,386,486,Pentium, and newer cpus that initialize in an 8086 compatibility mode. The term x86 is typically limited to 16 and 32-bit cpus. Cpus that have 64-bit extensions to x86 compatible cpus are commonly know as x86-64. Computer systems are considered to be x86 architecture systems if they are opcode compatible with Intel x86 cpus even when employing cpus by manufacturers such as Cyrix and AMD.
