  "x64/arm64 devices"? "CPU: 2x quad-core+ @ 2.80GHz+"? Was this written by AI, perhaps? x64 means Alpha (I know - EVERYONE does it - that doesn't make it correct) and absolutely nobody has dual processor quad core after the 2008 Mac Pro.

      Or maybe it doesn't. Replace "x" in x64 and show me how that ends up somehow indicating x86. x64 refers to Alpha 21064, 21164, 21264, 21364, so the "x" in x64 could refer to any of these. It's like when people call Trojans viruses. Sure, it's common usage, but you just look stupid if you're someone who should know better. In technical contexts, the distinction matters.

        I dunno man. I think this is just kind of a bias you have towards those processors being prevalent. It’s the first time I’ve heard of them. x64 is generic enough to mean anything, and from popularity I have only seen it to mean x86_64. I wasn’t nearly alive when any of those Alpha processors came out, so I am sure I am biased towards the more modern definition.
