Re: [Trisquel-users] New Intel graphics will require non-free firmware

x86 and ARM are instruction set architectures (the format and semantics  
allowed for machine code). 32 bits or 64 bits in this context refers to the  
“word width”; the size in bits of the general purpose registers and  
usually also of the RAM addresses. Both ARM and x86 have 32 bits and 64 bits  
versions, but they differ in more than the word width. Most laptop and  
desktop computers use x86‐64 CPUs (Also called “AMD64”, “EM64T”,  
“Intel 64” and incorrectly, “x64”).
