Intel AMD amd64[edit]
AMD64
might imply AMD only. This is wrong.
AMD64
means Intel and AMD.
For technical reason, both Intel and AMD, are called AMD64
.
Other synonyms include,
Intel 64
,x64
,x86_64
,AMD64
andamd64
(lower case).
aarch64 arm64[edit]
arm64
is a synonym for the aarch64
architecture.
Other synonyms include:
64-bit ARM
AArch64
Invalid Terminology[edit]
Since Intel produces both, amd64
and ARM
-based chips [1] it would be wrong (or at least not future-proof) to call amd64
Intel.
The same applies to AMD. [2]
