Apple's marketing and developer documentation usually refers to x86-64 as "Intel". Since Intel makes the only x86 CPUs legally allowed to run macOS, I suppose it's not completely silly. 'uname -m' says x86_64. According to Google, the only mention of "amd64" on developer.apple.com (excluding the forums) is here[1], where they refer to which Ubuntu image you should download to set up an Ubuntu VM on "Intel-based Mac computers".
