xor means exclusive or, ie a OR b, excluding the case when both are true. but what about xnor, what is the meaning of the word exclusive here? why exclusive nor, instead of not- exclusive or nxor?
or is technically and/or.
nor is technically not and/or.
xor is a more "exclusive" or.
xnor is a more "exclusive" nor.

How does one make a CMP instruction with just one gate? I'd like to know because I'm currently making a processor and am pretty sure this requires a tree-structured reduction array
With 2 input pins and 1 output pin you construct 16 different types of gates. Using just three of these gates, AND, OR and XOR, one can construct the 13 others. Your XNOR is one of these 13, and just a convenience. However may be critical to implement it in hardware or CPU, if your application relies heavily on it.
Protip: In C, using the operator ?: and !, you can easily construct these 16 different operators.
AND x?y:0
OR x?1:y
XOR x?!y:y
XNOR x?y:!y but NXOR would be a better name for this.

you've never actually built a circuit, component or microprocessor have you?

GENIUS! Now just one little problem: how do I get the clock on my FPGA to multiply by 64 without making everything fail?

A nobleman appears on his steed, watching over his peons. He notices a man in ragged clothing, shoveling manure around his crude hut. The nobleman calls out, "You there, genius!" The man turns to face his master. "Yes me lord?"

what the fuck man, xnor is the same as nor?
nxor doesn't exist.
i think xnor should be called nxor, and the name "exclusive nor" doesn't make any sense.

That's the point. "exclusive nor" is tautological because nor only has one positive out of the four possibilities. An exclusive nor would equal the exact same thing as nor.
