I vaguely remember someone lamenting that there is no i386 version of 13.2 being compiled and the reply was that that's progress for you and such machines are now rarer than hens' teeth so no more version for them -- or words to this effect. But I'll go searching.....
SUSE/openSUSE did not build for i386 since a long long time, i586 being the minimum requirement, the latter of which is unlikely going away given Factory is still being built for i586.
And if you nevertheless want to run SUSE on i386, all you need is a kernel with FPU emulation, and a glibc rebuilt for i386. The rest you can run off i586 packages.
More and more software are compiled with sse2 optimizations. Requiring an i586 machine is not enough. Nowdays building for i386 is a non sense but i586 could be too. My desktop is an old (10 years old) Athlon XP. Still working fine for common task but now is out :( Packages with sse2 optimizations are: flash, chrome/chromiun, google-earth, xapian and Qt5.
