1994 was just calling, they want their technical info back.
From wikipedia:
Most of that is still mostly consistent with what you were replying to: A small number of "almost but not quite" general purpose registers for integer ops and logic.
And that again increased with the advent of X64 (AMD Athlon64 onwards).
... but only for 64 bit code. And you still carry along the whole messy old legacy. x86_64 is *much* better, it's almost tolerable. But it's still far uglier than m68k from an assembly programming point of view. Not that that matters for most people these days, though, since there aren't many of us left that actually write any reasonable amount of asm (I mainly do for my compiler backends).
