1) It
is a 8th generation Processor therefore
Oct definately applies.
2) Nobody has suggested that
ium represents x86.

like i said, the original goal of the merced project was to make the processor to replace the P6 core. calling it "8th generation" would be completely arbitrary, as intel had a few processors before the 8086, most notably the 4004.

those are just completely arbitrary groupings. if i were doing it i definitely wouldn't stick the k6s and 6x86s as 6th generation because they had tons to do with intels 5th gen processors. and i'd put the athlon as an improved 6th gen, not a 7th gen, because thats just listening to what AMD's marketing is saying. again, its because it has tons to do with intel's 6th gen. heck, if you wanted to be accurate, it would only be AMD's 3rd generation processor because, you know what, its really only their 3rd x86 design.
and everyone forgets the 80186...
