As the x86 term became common after the introduction of the 80386, it usually implies a binary compatibility with the 32-bit instruction set of the 80386. This may sometimes be emphasized as x86-32 to distinguish it either from the original 16-bit x86-16 or from the newer 64-bit x86-64 (also called x64).[3] Although most...

x86-64 is a superset of the x86 instruction set architecture. x86-64 processors can run existing 32-bit or 16-bit x86 programs at full speed, but also support new programs written with a 64-bit address space and other additional capabilities. The x86-64 specification was designed by Advanced Micro Devices...

This page defines 'x86,' a generic name for the series of Intel microprocessors that began with the 80286 microprocessor. This series has been the provider of computing for personal computers since the 80286 was introduced in 1982. x86 microprocessors include the 386DX/SX/SL family, the 486DX/SX//DX2/SL/DX4 family,

The 8086 was the first processor in the x86 family launched in mid 1978. All future members are backwards compatible with it. Until 1989 x86 processors had no direct support for floating point calculations. Intel produced a chip called the 387 which could be added to motherboards to provide this support,
