Linux kernel author Linus Torvalds a patch in Linux 3.8 that incorporates Ingo Molnar, formally terminating support for i386 processors. After merging the patch, the 386 DX33 ancient system from 1991 years will not start under modern Linux kernel. Linus commented that he was not a sentimental person, and he was glad to finally get rid of it.

The i386 processor, a 32-bit microprocessor launched by Intel in 1985, has 275,000 transistors and is widely used in IBM PC-compliant machines in the mid to 1990 to the middle of the 1980, and Intel did not completely stop producing 80386 products until September 2007.
