You consider yourself an expert on nomenclature yet you frequently have no idea what you are going on about.
At some point in the 1980's the industry started to refer to Intel's (broad) instruction set as x86. At some point Intel 16 bit CPUs were lumped into ia16 and 32 bit CPUs ia32 (for
Intel
Architecture).
From 8 bit through 32 bit CPUs Intel sorta kinda extended the instruction sets sorta kinda compatibly. For 64 bit Intel created an new instruction set architecture completely different from those that came before, which, of course, became known as ia64. Meanwhile, AMD decided to design their 64 bit CPUs as a traditional extension of ia32. This became known as AMD64. (I am confident Intel didn't like that, but there was nothing that they could do about it. Years went by without ia64 Itanium becoming popular and it sank like the Itanic.
Intel was more or less forced to make a line of 64 bit chips more or less compatible with
AMD64. So Intel64 bit chips for the past couple of decades run
AMD64 software. Both you and Intel might not like it.
but that is the way it is.
You should really should consider the possibility that you don't know everything and do a little bit of research before posting nonsense.
