x86_64 has 8 registers r8-r15. The current syntax only accepts them with a trailing letter. The letter is used to indicate the register size. However, r8 is also a valid register, for a 64 bit wide register. For reference on the register names see https://www.cs.uaf.edu/2017/fall/cs301/reference/x86_64.html
