Very nice, I'm always for more assembly-level programming and education!

A very minor grammar thing, here:

In our example, the mnemonic is mov, which stands for move, and the operands are rax and rbx. This instruction in plain English would read: move the content of rbx in rax.

I believe the last part would be better as "... content of rbx to rax", i.e. "to" instead of "in". I'm not a native speaker, though.

Agreed, indeed I thought that "Copy the contents of rbx to rax" might be even clearer (mov doesn't remove the value from rbx IIUC!)

I'd say 'Yoda speak' makes translating from Intel syntax to English a lot easier.
mov rax rbx Into rax, copy the contents of rbx.

  if you tell someone you're moving, a generalized first question they would ask is "where?" not "what".
