# x86

x86 is a bloated, toxic instruction set architecture (or rather a family of them) used mostly in the desktop computers -- it is the most widely used architecture, used in Intel and AMD CPUs.

It is a CISC architecture and boy, complex it is. **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
