It most likely is. And beside of that: amd64 is the technically correct
term. :p

*sigh*  I know I'm going to regret going down this road, but, "lies!". ;)

AMD implemented x86-64, and marketed it as "AMD64". Intel cloned it as "EM64T", later renamed "Intel 64". GCC compiles for x86-64 which is the subset of the two.

But I agree, rekeywording amd64 to x86_64 would probably be more work than it's worth.
