Just wanted to express my support for this.

Intel released its last 32-bit only x86 processor in 2008, and that was
the low-end Atom Diamondville, targeting netbooks. Without even an
integrated GPU, I really doubt anyone is using such a thing today to
drive a modern Linux desktop.

AMD released its last 32-bit only x86 processor in 2004.

By 2021, these systems have lived well beyond their expected life.
