How many instructions x86 assembly?

states that the current x86-64 design “contains 981 unique mnemonics and a total of 3,684 instruction variants” [2]. However they do not specify which features are included in their count.

What does endbr64 mean?

It stands for "End Branch 64 bit" -- or more precisely, Terminate Indirect Branch in 64 bit.

Are all x86 instructions the same length?

x86 instructions can be anywhere between 1 and 15 bytes long. The length is defined separately for each instruction, depending on the available modes of operation of the instruction, the number of required operands and more.

What is the correct operand format for an x86 assembly code?

An x86 instruction can have zero to three operands. Operands are separated by commas (,) (ASCII 0x2C). For instructions with two operands, the first (lefthand) operand is the source operand, and the second (righthand) operand is the destination operand (that is, source->destination).

You might want to have a look at the Intel Architecture Developer's Manuals, especially volume 1 (basic architecture) and volumes 2A and 2B (instruction set reference).
