I find this easier to use for quick lookups than the Intel PDF files, because 
any instruction is just 2 clicks away.

Oh and a little tip from me as well, use the AMD64 manuals.
They are actually useful and can be learned from. Not so with Intel's.

You mean ... like that 3600 pages "Intel=C2=AE 64 and IA-32
Architectures Software Developer=E2=80=99s Manual" I linked in that
bug report earlier today?
Aside form being the complete and authoritative source on how
Intel's CPUs operate, it really doesn't have much going for
it. :D

And I do have a local copy of it. But to just see the hex code for an 
instruction, the clickable reference is much handier than navigating 3600 pages.

Indeed.
This Page is quite a find.
Thanks for posting it.
The Layout of the Intel Architecture guide, was actually a 
blocker for writing my ctfe-jit-backend.

To be fair, it explains much more than just what the instructions 
are.

I'm not interested in fairness, I'm interested in quick convenient access to 
what I need to know when I need to know it :-)

I did suspect a mistake in it, but it turned out that the mistake was in:

Just merge and split the PDFs so you have a PDF with just the 
instructions and a single bookmarks for each one. That's what I 
did.
