I sincerely hope that if they come up with a 128bit instruction set they call it "x80" to maintain backwards compatibility with previous set names and be deliberately confusing to everyone.
x87.
Because that would be unambiguous what it means.
But
0x80is how you'd normally express 128 as hex. So it's relevant. But deliberately confusing.
