Overview

x86-64 is identified in the evidence as the informal name for the Intel64 instruction set architecture. The Y86-64 instruction set architecture is described as adapting many features of Intel64, while being much simpler and intended as a working model for understanding microprocessor design and implementation rather than as a full processor implementation.
