Ahh, I didn't know that about the "x86_64" term.

I would say it is a better name than amd64, though. Maybe I'll have to
start saying something like "x86_64 thanks to AMD".

Red Hat refers to it as x86_64.

Sun calls it x64 (but Sun is just... in its own little world.)

Intel's marketing name for it is EMT64 (for Expanded Memory Technology, 64-bit, or something equally lame.)
