Cryptographic (e.g. RDRAND, AES-NI) Discontinued (e.g. 3DNow!, MPX, XOP) v. t. e. The x86 instruction set refers to the set of instructions that x86 -compatible microprocessors support. The instructions are usually part of an executable program, often stored as a computer file and executed on the processor.
The five-volume set of the x86-64 Architecture Programmer's Manual, as published and distributed by AMD in 2002. x86-64 (also known as x64, x86_64, AMD64, and Intel 64) [note 1] is a 64-bit version of the x86 instruction set, first announced in 1999. It introduced two new modes of operation, 64-bit mode and compatibility mode, along with a new ...
AMD Athlon (early version), a technically different but fully compatible x86 implementation. x86 (also known as 80x86[3] or the 8086 family[4]) is a family of complex instruction set computer (CISC) instruction set architectures [a] initially developed by Intel based on the 8086 microprocessor and its 8-bit-external-bus variant, the 8088.
The Athlon 64 is a ninth-generation, AMD64 -architecture microprocessor produced by Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), released on September 23, 2003. [1] It is the third processor to bear the name Athlon, and the immediate successor to the Athlon XP. [2] The Athlon 64 was the second processor to implement the AMD64 architecture (after the Opteron ...
History. Predecessor. K7 - Athlon. Successor. Family 10h (K10) The AMD K8 Hammer, also code-named SledgeHammer, is a computer processor microarchitecture designed by AMD as the successor to the AMD K7 Athlon microarchitecture. The K8 was the first implementation of the AMD64 64-bit extension to the x86 instruction set architecture. [1][2]
AMD publicly discloses its set of 64-bit extensions to IA-32, called x86-64 (later branded AMD64). 2000 IBM ships its first 64-bit z/Architecture mainframe, the zSeries z900. z/Architecture is a 64-bit version of the 32-bit ESA/390 architecture, a descendant of the 32-bit System/360 architecture. 2001
This article is part of the CPU socket series. Socket 754 is a CPU socket originally developed by AMD to supersede its Athlon XP platform (Socket A, also referred to as Socket 462). Socket 754 was one of the first sockets developed by AMD to support their new 64-bit microprocessor family known as AMD64, this time for the consumer market.
Bit manipulation instructions sets (BMI sets) are extensions to the x86 instruction set architecture for microprocessors from Intel and AMD. The purpose of these instruction sets is to improve the speed of bit manipulation. All the instructions in these sets are non- SIMD and operate only on general-purpose registers.
