x86_32 counts as an old machine (the most recent CPU being the first generation Intel Atom). It's being dropped left and right in favour of only supporting 64-bit machines (x86_64, aarch64, maybe RV64).
- gpderetta 3y agoCPUs shipped by intel today still support (non exclusively) x86-32. All major OSs (except for MacOS I guess) support running 32bit code along side 64bit code. New 32 bit binaries are created every day. It is hardly legacy yet. Separately, there is also the x32 ABI, although that hasn't really gained any traction.
