Intel Adopts AMD64 -- 4:20 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun
Intel's 64-bit extensions FAQ indicates (very quietly) that their new 64-bit processors will basically be the same as AMD's AMD64. This is very pragmatic on Intel's part and also very fortunate for the rest of us so that there aren't a zillion consumer-level 64-bit standards floating about. Apparently the Linux kernel folks have decided to simply call it x86-64 although Linus Torvalds thought for a second about calling it "AMD64" to give credit where credit is due. Kudos to AMD! Thanks Slashdot.
