Hello!
Very good Peter. Prasnik, the summary that Peter gave is even better
then I could arrange for. But I will add to it anyway.
The part numbers covered in that book are largely the ones that the
Intel team behind the 8086 family were making and selling then. Its
been a generation in people yea

Yes and no. Quark is geared toward makers and hobbyists, seems to
basically be a 486 machine with some funky addons, and Intel has put
a fair bit of effort into documenting
Hello Greg,
I think I got it.
When you say that Intel "retires some part number", you probably mean
that
Intel has stopped to talk about some architectures (or cpu families) in
its official documentation.
And "working entry" should mean that those cpu-families are still valid,
at least concept
Hello!
According to Intel some of the part numbers that reference older
operating systems were retired by the company. You might find them for
sale at places who support older systems for example.
To answer your question, the entire series of part numbers that the
8086 family belong to were retire

Hello!
I'll echo what you also said Aaron with this one on the X86 family as well:

That book happens to be extremely important to almost any programmer.

Some books do, no single book covers the 35+ years of legacy which is
still very much present in the latest x86 hardware.

However, there's
nothing (that I know of) that encompasses the expanse that is
historical x86 systems.
do you mean that no book (that you know) talks about x86 systems?

fundamental notions on computer architecture.
Which book do you suggest to that purpose?
Thanks in advance
