They are equally readable. The first one sets EAX to 3; the second
displays all elements of x on the console. Assembly is readable on a
very low level, but it's by nature verbose at a high level, and thus
less readable (you can't eyeball a function and know exactly what it
does, especially if that function spans more than a screenful of
code).
