From my understanding, someone correct me if I am off here, AMD sort of |
| 28 |
beat Intel to the 64 bit thing. So, it sort of got named amd64 even tho |
| 29 |
Intel came along later on and the name just stuck. That's a very short |
| 30 |
version of the story and I think that is how it went but someone may |
| 31 |
come along and correct something. |
