A significant share of patents is still owned by Intel: [1]. Anyone minds to expand? -- AXONOV (talk) ⚑ 20:55, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
I do not know how long all the x86_64 is under a "patent""All the x86_64" keeps getting stuff added to it, so there are probably new patents being issued.
The x86 may not be the same as x86_64 also.x86-64 isn't a from-scratch clean-sheet-of-paper instruction set; it's based on IA-32, which is, in turn based on 16-bit x86, so any pre-x86-64 x86 patents that haven't expired still apply. However, as the next paragraph suggests, there may not be any of those left.
The article should mention the x86-64 feature levels, and ideally compare them with i386, i486, i586 and i686 of x86-32. From phoronix.com:

This is a good article and I don't see any such message here. But I see such tags are given to less informative CS articles. Wikieditor 2027 ( talk) 23:42, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
