The naming AMD64 correctly was visionary, but what do we call broken x64?

  Clearly, intel64

    Why not “Intel Architecture 64-bit” to be clear? You can even shorten it to “IA-64”.

      Unsure if this is a joke and I'm about to be wooshed, but for anyone who doesn't know: Unfortunately, IA-64 is already taken for the itanium architecture. That's why the Intel Software Developer Manual names it IA32-E and not IA64. IA32 is x86, IA32-E is x86 Extended, or x86_64. Thanks intel, I guess.
