IIRC, on Debian, uname -m (or uname -a) used to return i386 for
x86 machines(Or was always i686 ?) and hence the confusion Thanks.
Main article is not about -m, it is something related to -p, My laptop
says,
$ uname -p
Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 CPU M 380 @ 2.53GHz
If your linux[1] says i386 for -p, then you should consider reading
mentioned article.
To my knowledge, -m means processor architecture like i386/i686, x86_64,
sun4u/sparc, arm* etc.,

[1] I'm insisting on linux. because only linux dropped support for i386
chip. Not others.
