Copying and pasting a press release does not make for a good comment. Especially because you don't seem to have understood what you pasted in, or the context of this discussion. What you're demonstrating is several more new features added to the pile. Intel's retracted X86S proposal was actually about removing legacy features, creating a cleaner subset for the modern era.
Both x86S and advisory group is about the same: improving x86.
As of today it resulted in more features, but who knows what changes it will bring tomorrow?
Calling x86 clean up initiative dead/cancelled is quite not fair since this group is still working.
