Intel has released a preview of its redesigned IA architecture documentation website, aiming for greater accuracy and accessibility. The new platform uses a formal specification language to make instruction behavior more precise and testable, with plans to eventually pair the website alongside the existing PDF SDM. Feedback is being solicited via GitHub issues and a usability survey before full adoption.
Background
Intel's Software Developer's Manual (SDM) is the authoritative reference for x86 architecture documentation, typically distributed as PDFs. This preview signals a shift toward modern, web-based developer documentation with formal specifications.
