It's actually the x86-64 instruction set, that is to say, the 64-bit version of x86. AMD created the first implementation of this set with AMD64, and Intel then adopted it with their own flavor as Intel 64. I don't think the headline is as accurate as it could be. Probably wrote the headline with the assumption that "most readers" would better understand "64-bit Intel" than "x86-64" but they might be underestimating their readers! And even then, it's officially called "Intel 64" according to Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64#Intel_64 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64#Intel_64
