Difference between x86, x32, and x64 architectures?

Question

Please explain the difference between x86, x32 and x64? Its a bit confusing when it comes to x86 and x32 bec

Answer 1

As the 64bit version is an x86 architecture and was accordingly first called x86-64, that would be the most appropriate name, IMO. Also, x32 is a thing (as mentioned before)—‘x64’, however, is not a continuation of that, so is (theoretically) missleading (even though many people will know what you are talking about) and should thus only be recognised as a marketing thing, not an ‘official’ architecture (again, IMO–obviously, others disagree).
