The Intel manuals have become ever increasing in size
I remember around 2000 it was 3 manuals, last time I checked it was 5 or 6
New instructions, new functionality (virtualization) etc
But the old manuals still have a lot of relevant stuff, especially if you want to work at the low-level (like switching to protected mode, page tables, etc)
