Probably be good to add (2013) to the title as that was both when it was written and the latest x86 documentation at the time. Since then, it looks like the manual as 4670 pages now[0], which surpasses the 6502's "all transistors but ROM/PLA" count.
At this rate, 1419 pages over 3 years, the Intel x86 documentation's page count will exceed all transistor counts of the 6502 around 2020.
