Please do not confuse IA-32 with x86

As the above, your efforts would not be confirmed this time, for you confuse IA-32 with x86. IA-32 is an architecture, developed by Intel. So it lacks the support of some extensional instruction sets from other vendors such as MMX+, 3DNow!, 3DNow Professional and so forth, but those instruction sets build up the 32-bit architecture, which AMD64 was built on when AMD Athlon 64 and Opteron debuted. AMD name their IA-32 compatible processors as x86 processors, and naming that architecture with ambiguous term, x86. x86 is not official name for an architecture, but is used to referred to those similar and related things. It is quite like the word Jews. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 221.9.13.240 (talk) 02:00, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for your fixes to device file
That's what I always hope for, that someone more authoritative will come along and clean-up after my well-intentioned guesses. I mainly edit Wikipedia when I'm scouting material where I don't yet know the precise dividing lines. And yet, I still attempt to fill holes in passing.

That udev is now managed by systemd is not irrelevant to the complexities inherent in device file systems, were that to become a separate article. &mdash; MaxEnt 19:36, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
