Well, AMD created the x86-64 architecture we are all using (Intel's
IA-64 never became really popular), so actually it does ;)

That is interesting. I would not have guessed at that fact. As we
see online many even thousands of bits that separate architecture in a
sort of quickie non exacting way... as being amd PC PowerPC (maybe
more)
So the unwary reader is led to believe that amd means an architecture
different from `pc'.
Thanks for the clarity.
It's a geek thing, once you know the "History of Computing", so just go
