While families is a good way of classifying chip according to architecture, historically, there has been more than a few instances where developers introduces significant architectural changes to the same family, such as {{intel|execute disable|XD}}, {{amd|no execute|NX}}, and  various {{x86|SSE}} extensions in the case of [[Intel]].

On occasion, a manufacturer may decide to group a number of smaller microprocessor families into a larger '''extended family''' which represents a large groups of chips that share a common theme and possibly root [[ISA]].
