There are a lot of embedded 32bit x86 still being produced. Just because it's not in your desktop anymore doesn't mean it ceased to exist.

- mrsteveman1 12y agoIndeed, Intel is still actively producing new 32-bit CPUs with their Quark line [1], and quite a few consumer products that people would easily recognize have shipped [2] in the last few years with 32-bit Atom SoC's. The PC Engines ALIX [3] series (with a 32-bit AMD Geode LX onboard), is also pretty widely used as a firewall/router, and is actively supported by pfSense and several other software distributions.
