x86 is a faimily o backward compatible instruction set airchitecturs[a] based on the Intel 8086 CPU an its Intel 8088 variant.

Appen | Pairtly. For some advanced featurs, x86 mey require license frae Intel; x86-64 mey require an addeetional license frae AMD. The 80486 processor haes been on the mercat for mair nor 20 years[1] an so cannot be subject tae patent claims. The pre-586 subset o the x86 airchitectur is tharefore fully open. |

Registers |
---|
General purpose | - 16-bit: six semi-dedicatit registers, BP an SP are nae general-purpose
- 32-bit: aicht GPRs, includin EBP an ESP
- 64-bit: 16 GPRs, includin RBP an RSP
|
---|
Floatin pynt | - 16-bit: optional separate x87 FPU
- 32-bit: optional separate or integratit x87 FPU, integratit SSE2 units in later processors
- 64-bit: integratit x87 an SSE2 units
