X86 Family
The term "x86" can refer both to an instruction set architecture and to microprocessors which implement it. the name x86 is derived from fact that many of intel's early processors had names ending in "86".
the x86 set architecture originated at intel and has evoved over time by the addtion of new instructions as well as the epansion to 64-bits. As of 2009, x86 primarily refers to IA-32 (Intel architecture, 32-bit) and /or x86-64, the extension to 64-bit computing.
versions of the x86 instruction set architecture have been implemented by intel, AMD and several vendors, with each vendor having its own family of x86 processors.
