Category:X86: Difference between revisions

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.
