I misunderstood his remark. I assumed he meant the name's origin being incorrect, like old CPUs ending in 86 running 32-bit, not that x86 refers to 64-bit. No one really thought that before!
That's exactly what I meant. However, it seems to contradict what you stated: x86 can definitely be 32-bit, and it doesn't mean 64-bit at all.
The only clear way to express it is using x86 for 32-bit and x64 for 64-bit.
This discussion unfolded incredibly quickly, taking less time than it took to capture the image. Stay focused, everyone—this isn’t about debate, it’s about getting a clear response.
