that's clear. So Heath expanded even further. Senior host and junior vice president minion. I think we both... Junior? I don't know. Junior vice president though. Hey, that's... Hey, wait a minute now. I get demoted already? Heath, yeah, you're just making up titles. Okay. In the last listener feedback, episode 332, a listener wrote in confused about the AMD64 builds of respective software packages asking where the Intel ones would be. I once had similar confusion and this is what I learned. When Intel published the 32-bit instruction set for the then shiny 386 CPU, the instruction set was dubbed the 386 instruction set as the 486 and Pentium CPUs used the same set. The instruction set has come to be known as the i386 or x86, x to cover 486 and 586, for all CPUs, both Intel and AMD, who use the same instruction set. When 64-bit CPUs came to the consumer market, AMD were the first to draft the 64-bit extensions to the 386 instruction set. The extension means the original 32-bit (7/45)
