Bug#930318: Suggestion for i386/amd64 "PC"
Package: release-notes
Severity: wishlist
Dear maintainers,
This would be almost about "already-done" in Debian community, as in,
Bug#575761: x86 architecture names are confusing
Where?
======
en/whats-new.dbk: "Supported architectures" section
1. 32-bit PC (i386) and 64-bit PC (amd64)
2. 64-bit ARM (arm64)
WHY?
====
* There are many "amd64" servers and "arm64" servers.
* There could be ARM PCs (starting with Windows 10 notebooks).
* To avoid "64 bit PC" could mean both amd64 and arm64.
Suggestion
----------
1. 32-bit x86 (i386) and 64-bit x86 (amd64)
2. 64-bit ARM (arm64)
In other words, I think, "PC" is not necessary now,
and a phrase "86" is alive since Intel released
their 8th gen. Core CPU "Core i7-8086K" in 2018.
Regards,
