The CPU's instruction set is not stored anywhere. Rather, it is an integral part of the silicon that the CPU is made out of. The "instruction set" is actually a metaphor used to describe the different effects of charges at different points in the CPU. Just because I call a certain operation "add" doesn't mean anything to the CPU. Charges are applied and due to the way they are applied, different transistors open and close, providing different effects.
The two major brands of personal computer CPUs are AMD and Intel. A distant second runner up is Via, which makes CPUs for netbooks and other low-power applications. These all manufacture CPUs using the x86 and x86-64 instruction set.

The instruction decoder is the part of the CPU that converts the bits stored in the instruction register into control signals need to control other parts of the processor. In CPUs that use microcode, the decoder converts microinstructions into the control signals.

Auxillary memory is required so that set of instruction given first stored in temorary memory which can be edited & then can be stored
There is one instruction set in the IA-32. Instruction set is the set of instruction that a processor can execute.

When an interrupt occurs, the address following the current instruction is stored on the stack.
RISC - Reduced Instruction Set Computer CISC - Comples Instruction Set Computer
The PC (program counter) is a CPU memory variable, commonly called a "register," that the CPU uses to track where the current executing instruction is located in memory, or on some CPUs, where the next instruction to execute is. Without a PC, the CPU would not know where the code it is currently executing is stored, and thus would not be able to run programs.
MMX - instruction set - was created in 1996.
Planned x86 processors will have the SSE4 instruction set.
