Microarchitecture is defined as those elements of a CPU design which are, to first order, invisible to application programmers (ie, not part of the instruction set). Those elements which are visible comprise the architecture.

FIXME: add early clones (NEC V20/V30, etc), AMD, VIA, Cyrix etc...
FIXME: add variants (80188, embedded 80386's, etc)

Instruction sets

  • x86-16: The granddaddy of 'em all
  • 8086-2: Added ENTER/LEAVE, PUSHA/POPA, INS/OUTS
  • PVAM: Added Protected Virtual Address Mode instructions (L/S*DT, etc)

Physical Packages

  • DIP (dual in-line package): 2 parallel rows of pins
  • PGA (pin grid array): Regularly-spaced pins in rectangular geometry
  • CLCC (ceramic leadless chip carrier): Regularly-spaced metallized castellations in rectangular geometry
  • PLCC (plastic lead chip carrier): Regularly-spaced J-leads in rectangular geometry, surface- or package-mounted
  • PQFP (plastic quad flat pack): Regularly-spaced side leads in rectangular geometry, designed for surface mounting
