Editing x86

'''x86''' is a family of [[little-endian]] [[instruction set architectures]] and [[instruction set architectures extension|extensions]]. As its namesake indicates, the x86 ISA offers [[binary compatibility]] all the way from the original {{intel|8086}} to modern [[microarchitecture]]s as well as source code compatibility since the {{intel|8080}}. The architecture is widely used in the [[desktop]] and [[server]] markets by a number of [[semiconductor companies|companies]] including [[Intel]], [[AMD]], [[VIA]], [[DM&P]], and [[RDC Semiconductors|RDC]].
