If it was 8086 they would have written 8086

[voidUpdate]

They write both. They write x86 repeatedly in the article and title, then show an instruction matrix that doesn't include, for example, the 468 CMPXCHG instructions or the crypto extensions PCLMULHQHQDQ instruction. Best I can guess, they mean 8086, which they think is equivalent to x86

[rebane2001]

Why is the 8086 not equivalent to x86? PCLMULHQHQDQ is from the CLMUL extension, which only began appearing in CPUs in the early 2010s - are CPUs from before then not x86?

They did write 8086 in the text, but x86 in the title.
