Free Intel Manuals

[uziq]

Did you know you can get free printed manuals from Intel?

Just click on "Order a printed copy" and list all the SKUs that you want:
http://developer.intel.com/products/processor/manuals/index.htm

I received all six books that I requested in about a week. :)

Thanks for the tip!  I got mine a few days ago.

And hats off to Intel for supporting developers - and oddball dillitantes like me - with such quality stuff [as far as I can tell so far] for free, no questions asked.

I wish I had known this would be available like 2 years ago when I printed out all, what is it, 2000 pages from the IA32 Dev Manual Volume 1 - then I spent at least 5 hours punching holes to stuff it in a binder...

It's been like for as long as I can remember.

One thing to remember is:  Order it , ONLY if you really need it.  The printing costs are past on to the people who buy the uP.

Yes!

...ONLY if you really need it....

I wonder why people will stop if they can get "free-stuff"  :bdg :green

No ... but seriously all books are useful ... just differing levels of complexity, I think!

The Basic Architecture and the instruction set would be useful to any assembly programmer.
The Optimization manual ... well only for "optimizers" :) For others it would be "just more information"
The System Programming stuff is ... well ... kinda the most explanatory about how exactly would things work.

I would guess the numbering should give an idea ... 1, 2A, 2B, etc!!!  :bg

I am curious why people would order this instead of simply downloading the PDF versions, which are more easily searchable for info. Plus the freight fuel/printing/tree destruction costs don't exactly make this method of distribution environmentally friendly for such a big reference manual.  :eek

Depends on your learning style.  I do learn better for first time topics from a printed page.  After that, paperless updates is fine for me.

Personally, they should charge at less some kind of shipping & handling fee for printed material.

i think that the should have some kind of charge for printing, shipping and everything like that. dont know how much it would caost to have a huge publishing like that. i have been trying to read the pdf files for a while and i can never understand them. it seems a lot like jibberish. for some reason i learn a lot better off hard copy. not only that i think the diagrams are better on paper.

For me too, reading from hard copy comes easier than hot-burning-screen-of-monitor :eek
