if you still run 32-bit you must have not upgraded since 2007

Yeah, pretty much. I still have a Pentium 4 rig, but I never use it.

Z80, ez80, 68K, SHA-3, SHA-4, ARM9, x64.

Had a x86 PC in 2010-11 but I no longer have it.

Well, if you're gonna count that... various ARM devices from v5 to v8 (Nspire, phones, tablet, Raspberry Pis, various MCUs, GBA), PowerPC 750 (GameCube), MIPS32 (router, stereo), z80 (TI calcs), Saturn (HP 40g), and probably others I forgot.

I have a bunch of x86_64, x86 and ARM devices around, am I the only one to still have some x86 laptops?

I have an Intel Atom 32-bits PC but i gutted all of its parts.
I also have some intel atom motherboards but they lack a vent so i can't use them...

Even my old portable pc is x64, it has an old Pentium Dual Core.
With LLVMpipe, it can even play some OpenGL 3 games !

I think all the main computers I ever used were x64. I mean, I only really started using computers 10 years ago when I was five, but that was in school with the weird penguin iceburg game that I thoroughly enjoyed playing. For computers I actually used, I originally used a first gen mobile i3(I don't remember the exact model). Then I got a desktop with a 8320, then a laptop with a 5500u, and now a laptop with a 6700hq. So yup, all x64(although I really hate intel's lack of progress in the mobile cpu industry[and well, their cpus as a whole. A 2500k is almost as good as a modern 7600k, with both overclocking to just under 5 ghz ish]. I really hope that the mobile ryzen launch in Q4 will shake things up[there were some nice testers of the 1700 who undervolted it at, I think, more than(or at least) 3 ghz and ran it at 50 watts. Just a little underclocking or the removal of two cores would solidly push it into laptop cpu territory]).

x64 is IA-64, I highly doubt that anyone of you has an Itanium system anywhere

The term got popular when Microsoft used it incorrectly for AMD64 and Intel-64 compatible editons of Windows, but it's still wrong.

This reminds me when everyone started calling any music that had a UNTZ UNTZ UNTZ UNTZ beat as techno or when everyone started calling punk rock, hard rock, death metal and black metal as hardcore.

*edits poll to vote for his 32bit windows7 PC w/ 3GB RAM

u/Dream of Omnimaga April 19, 2017, 06:50:41 PM

There's already a 32 bits option @p2 (x86)

u/p2 April 19, 2017, 08:00:53 PM

uh yeah, right. sorry
forgot about it
[spoiler]

Quotex86 started out as a 16-bit instruction set for 16-bit processors (the 8086 and 8088 processors), then was extended to a 32-bit instruction set for 32-bit processors (80386 and 80486), and now has been extended to a 64-bit instruction set for 64-bit processors. It used to be written as 80x86 to reflect the changing value in the middle of the chip model numbers, but somewhere along the line the 80 in the front was dropped, leaving just x86.
