• The Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manuals cover basic architecture, instruction set, system programming and other topics. They are available in downloadable PDF and can also be ordered on CD-ROM (order form) and as hard copy (order information).
• There are many online instruction set references. http://home.comcast.net/~fbui/intel.html includes the number of clock cycles that each instruction takes, and http://siyobik.info/index.php?module=x86 gives a thorough summary of each command, including pseudocode describing the operation.
• AMD's AMD64 documentation on CD-ROM (U.S. and Canada only) and downloadable PDF format - maybe not independent but complete description of AMD64 through Assembly. http://developer.amd.com/documentation/guides/Pages/default.aspx#manuals

• "8086 Microprocessor Emulator" "emu8086 is the emulator ... with integrated 8086 assembler and tutorials for beginners. The emulator runs programs like the real microprocessor in step-by-step mode. It shows registers, memory, stack, variables and flags. All memory values can be investigated and edited by a double click."
