x86 compatible

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
x86 compatible
Refers to a computer system that is compatible with Intel's x86 CPU family. All operating systems and applications that run on Intel x86 systems (Core and Pentium CPUs) run exactly the same on an x86-compatible computer. For example, AMD is a large supplier of x86-compatible CPUs.

Sometimes, the term is used to refer to all x86-based computers whether from compatible vendors or from Intel. In such a case, the term should be "x86-based systems," not "x86-compatible." See x86, AMD and x86 chip platform.

x86 Based
These Mini-Boxes are x86-based systems from Via Technologies. Used for firewalls, mail servers and other network appliances, they are complete systems with Via Technologies motherboards and CPUs designed for the x86 platform. Mini-Boxes run Windows, Windows CE and Linux.
