x86 x86 is a [1]bloated, toxic [2]instruction set architecture (or rather a family of them) used mostly in the [3]desktop computers -- it is the most widely used architecture, used in [4]Intel and [5]AMD [6]CPUs. It is a [7]CISC architecture and boy, complex it is. [8]LMAO there are instructions like PCLMULQDQ, MPSADBW (multiple packed sums of absolute difference which does something like cross correlation ??? xD) and PCMPESTRI (which does like many possible string searches/comparisons on strings of different data types like subset or substring with many different options). Basically if you smash your keyboard chances are you produce a valid x86 instruction xD Links: 1. bloat.md 2. isa.md 3. desktop.md 4. intel.md 5. amd.md 6. cpu.md 7. cisc.md 8. lmao.md
