What's i386? I started to think about this question when I was downloading the Ubuntu of i386 version. I think that i386 is a category of CPU. Well, this is not totally unreaonable.
i386 is short for the Intel 80386, which is produced since 1985 until 2008. So far the 80386 instruction set, programming model, and binary encodings are still the common denominator for all 32-bit x86 processors. However this is termed x86, IA-32, or the i386-architecture, depending on context.
The CPU of my workstation is Intel Celeron (R) , belongs to x86 family.
I catched the list blow from Wikipedia.com, just for fun to know.
