When there's less than 4 Gigabytes of RAM, the empirical evidence I have is that an x86 distributtion offers a better performance than an amd64 one. For deployments of light load or simple exploration environments, it could be convenient also, taking advantage of existing hardware available with 32 bits microprocessors.
As far as I know the naming of the Debian port depends on the underlying microprocessor architecture. In https://www.debian.org/ports/ the adaption for 32 bits PC hardware is listed as "i386", but when installed it could be reported as i386 or i686 by the running Linux kernel. To ease the issue, it could be referred as x86.

Why on earth would anyone intentionally run an i386 version of anything on a server today??? -- users@sogo.nu https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists -- users@sogo.nu https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists
