Re:How many registers does an x86-64 CPU have? (2020) by Joker_vD on Saturday February 14, 2026 @09:50PM (#47020597)
Eh, pretty much nobody uses them (outside of OS kernels?); and mind you, RISC-V with its 32 registers has nothing similar to those, which is why 14-instruction long prologues (adjust sp, save lr and s0 through s12) and epilogues are not that uncommon there.
