64 bit "80x86" as we know it today was originally created by AMD, not Intel. Intel was trying to push Itanium at that time for 64 bit. So it's normal to refer to 64 bit apps on Windows as amd64. Intel had to change course and adopt the AMD model. (Which was basically the same as the 16->32 bit model that Intel did in the 32 bit days. Itanium was their New Coke.)
