I-Intel x86-S, ukwakheka okusha kwe-Intel ehlela ukuqeda amabhithi ayi-16 no-32 futhi iye ngqo kumabhithi angama-64.

Ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezedlule kwavela lokho I-Intel yayishicilele idokhumenti, into "engajwayelekile" futhi yilokho okukuyo, i-Intel ihlose ukuqeda ukwakhiwa kwe-16 kanye ne-32-bit bese uhamba ngokugcwele 64 bit.

Embhalweni, i-Intel iveza umqondo wesakhiwo esisha "Intel x86-S" ukuthi izosekela kuphela amabhithi angu-64 nokuthi ihlose ukwenza lula kokubili ihadiwe nesofthiwe.

Amaphrosesa okuqala angu-16-bit aqala ukuvela ngawo-1970, kanti ngenkathi ama-32-bit processors ayesetshenziswa kumakhompyutha we-mainframe kusukela ngawo-1960, amakhompyutha omuntu aqala ukufuduka esuka ku-16-bit kuya ku-32-bit ngawo-1980. ama-chips okuqala angu-386-bit 32 ngo-1985, ama-Intel x86 processors akhiwa nge-Modi ye-16-bit ukuze ahambisane nezinhlelo zokusebenza ze-16-bit.

Ukuzalwa kwalo mqondo omusha we-Intel "architecture" kuvela ku- udaba lwamanje obhekene nalo ekuqhubekeni nokugcina izidingo zehardware endala futhi lokho kungaba nemiphumela engathi sína ku-microarchitecture kanye nomklamo wedivayisi.

Futhi yilokho ngokwesibonelo ukuthuthukiswa ekuqaliseni nasekusebenziseni ikhodi akukwazi ukufakwa uma kunomthelela omubi ekusebenzisaneni emuva. Amadivayisi adinga ukuhambisana okubuyela emuva kufanele anikele isikhala kuhadiwe endala engase isetshenziswe kangcono izisheshisi zehadiwe ezintsha namasistimu esikhathi sokusebenza.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-Intel yengeza lokho ukugcina ukuhambisana okubuyela emuva kungase futhi kubangele ubungozi bokuphepha ukuthi buqhubeke kumiklamo emisha. Lokhu kuyiqiniso ikakhulukazi phakathi nenqubo yokuqalisa, lapho amasistimu amadala angase angasebenzisi izinqubo zokuphepha eziqinile, okuvumela noma iyiphi ikhodi enonya ukuthi isebenze.

I-architecture entsha ye-x86S yenza lula ukuklama kwamaphrosesa azayo kanye nenqubo yokuqalisa ikhompuyutha ngokususa usekelo lwe-16-bit kanye nezinye izici zosekelo lwe-32-bit kusuka kuhadiwe. Lokhu kungaholela emndenini wamaphrosesa aqala ngqo kumodi ye-x86-64.

Namuhla, ama-chips aphoqeleka ukuthi adlule kulezi zigaba ekuqaleni kwesistimu, kusho i-Intel:

"I-architecture engama-64-bit isusa ezinye izithasiselo zezakhiwo zakudala, okunciphisa ubunzima obuphelele be-software ne-hardware architecture. Ngokuhlola i-architecture yemodi engu-64-bit kuphela, izinguquko ezengeziwe zingenziwa ngokuhambisana nokuqaliswa kwesofthiwe yesimanje.” Lokhu kufaka phakathi izinguquko ezilandelayo:

 “Amasistimu wokusebenza angama-64-bit agcina amandla okusebenzisa izinhlelo zokusebenza ezingama-32-bit, kodwa awasasekeli izinhlelo zokusebenza ze-16-bit ngokwemvelo. Ngalokhu kuvelela, i-Intel ikholelwa ukuthi akhona amathuba okwenza lula ku-ecosystem yethu yehadiwe nesoftware. Amanye amamodi amafa anokusetshenziswa okuncane ezinhlelweni zokusebenza zesimanje ngaphandle kokuqalisa i-CPU kumodi ye-64-bit. Ukwengeza, inothi likanjiniyela lihambisana nephepha elimhlophe elinamakhasi angama-46 [PDF] elinemininingwane ngezinguquko ezicatshangelwa yi-Intel.

Kusukela inkampani ayenzanga noma yisiphi isitatimende mayelana nokuthuthukiswa kokusebenza okungase kube umphumela woshintsho olunjalo, akucaci ukuthi abasebenzisi abaningi kufanele bajabule yini ngalolu shintsho.

Lesi simemezelo siza ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ngemuva kokuthi i-Intel imemezele ukushona kwe-Pentium kanye ne-Celeron processors. Njengoba inkampani imemezele ukuthi izothatha indawo yala ma-chips amabili ivuna ukunikeza imodeli eyodwa ye-Intel processor (yezinga lokungena) eqala ngo-2023. Ngokusho kwe-Intel, lokhu kufanele kwenze izinto zibe lula kubathengi abafuna ukuthenga ama-laptops ashibhile.

Ekugcineni, Ngokusho kwenkampani, uguquko ngeke lususe ngokuphelele ukusekelwa kwezinhlelo zokusebenza ezindala.. Njengoba inkampani ikhomba kokuthunyelwe kwayo, i-Intel ithuthukise amasu e-virtualization asengavumela isoftware endala ukuthi iqale.

Ekugcineni, uma ukhona unentshisekelo yokwazi okwengeziwe ngayo, ungabheka imininingwane Kulesi sixhumanisi esilandelayo.
