itanium dumped the x86 baggage in the jump to 64-bit which is good because x86 is terrible but bad because it breaks compat with trash old software

amd tacked on new 64-bit hotness to the x86 crapfest which is bad because it leaves x86 garbage littered around but good because you can still run trash old software

lol dropping 16-bit instruction support when the processor was in 64-bit mode was seen as too extreme for some TurboGoobers out there
