For over four decades, x86 has served as the bedrock of modern
computing, establishing itself as the preferred architecture in
data centers and PCs worldwide. In today's evolving
landscape—characterized by dynamic AI workloads, custom chiplets,
and advancements in 3D packaging and system architectures—the
importance of a robust and expanding x86 ecosystem is more crucial
than ever.
“We are on the cusp of one of the most significant shifts in the
x86 architecture and ecosystem in decades – with new levels of
customization, compatibility and scalability needed to meet current
and future customer needs,” said Pat Gelsinger, Intel CEO. “We
proudly stand together with AMD and the founding members of this
advisory group, as we ignite the future of compute, and we deeply
appreciate the support of so many industry leaders.”
“Establishing the x86 Ecosystem Advisory Group will ensure that
the x86 architecture continues evolving as the compute platform of
choice for both developers and customers,” said Lisa Su, AMD Chair
and CEO. “We are excited to bring the industry together to provide
direction on future architectural enhancements and extend the
incredible success of x86 for decades to come.”
The advisory group aims to unite industry leaders to shape the
future of x86 and foster developer innovation through a more
unified set of instructions and architectural interfaces. This
initiative will enhance compatibility, predictability and
consistency across x86 product offerings. To achieve this, the
group will solicit technical input from the x86 hardware and
software communities on essential functions and features.
Collaboration will facilitate the creation of consistent and
compatible implementations of key x86 architectural features and
programming models, extending across all sectors – including data
centers, cloud, client, edge and embedded devices – ultimately
delivering downstream benefits to customers. The intended outcomes
include:
- Enhancing customer choice and compatibility across hardware and
software, while accelerating their ability to benefit from new,
cutting-edge features.
- Simplifying architectural guidelines to enhance software
consistency and standardize interfaces across x86 product offerings
from Intel and AMD.
- Enabling greater and more efficient integration of new
capabilities into operating systems, frameworks and
applications.
As vigorous competitors, Intel and AMD at the same time share a
history of industry collaboration focused on platform-level
advancements, the introduction of standards, and security
vulnerability mitigation within the x86 ecosystem. Their joint
efforts have shaped key technologies, including PCI, PCIe, Advanced
Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI). Both companies also
played a pivotal role in developing USB, a vital connectivity
standard for all computers regardless of the processor. This
advisory group takes this industry collaboration to the next level
for the benefit of the entire computing ecosystem and as a catalyst
for product innovation.
