It's now Intel 64, if that wasn't confusing enough. http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=34722 So intel went from IA-32e to EM64T to Intel 64! I guess you know why upstream left it amd64. I guess they suffer from the not invented here syndrome. For all those people who need to be special, you can always append-to-version when you compile your own kernel. But still it freaks out those who are not knowledgeable to see a Woodcrest, or Conroe running something saying amd64. You just got to love the irony in that.
