==== x86 ====
~**x86** is the most common architecture for desktop and laptop computers.  The term became common after the introduction of the Intel 80386, it usually implies binary compatibility with the 32-bit instruction set of the 80386.  Sometimes this is written as x86-32 to differentiate from the 64-bit x86-64.  Intel, AMD and others manufacture microprocessors compatible with this standard.
