This is wrong. <code>AMD64</code> means '''<u>Intel</u> and <u>AMD</u>'''. For technical reason, both Intel and AMD, are called <code>AMD64</code>. Other synonyms include, * <code>Intel 64</code>, * <code>x64</code>, * <code>x86_64</code>, * <code>AMD64</code> and * <code>amd64</code> (lower case). = aarch64 arm64 = <code>arm64</code> is a synonym for the <code>aarch64</code> architecture. Other synonyms include: * <code>64-bit ARM</code> * <code>AArch64</code> = Invalid Terminology = Since Intel produces both, <code>amd64</code> and <code>ARM</code>-based chips <ref> [https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-37106572 BBC: Intel factory to make ARM-based smartphone chips] </ref> it would be wrong (or at least not future-proof) to call <code>amd64</code> Intel.
