"x86" is an ambiguous term, because it encompasses also 8086, 80186, 80286;
these are CPUs which cannot run a modern operating system.
You should instead use
i386
i486
i586
i686
i786
for processors with 32-bit instruction set (a.k.a. IA-32),
x86_64
for processors with 64-bit instruction set (a.k.a. AMD64 or
EM64T)
ia64
for processors with VLIW 64-bit instruction set (a.k.a. IA-64).
