This usage should not be confused with that of the [[memory segment]]s used by early [[x86]] processors such as the [[Intel 8086]] and [[Intel 8088]], as they did not provide any protection; segmentation in the [[Intel 80286]] and later provided protection.
 
For details of [[x86]]'s implementation of segmentation in both 16-bit and 32-bit mode, please see the article on [[x86 memory segment]]s.
