How about:

-1. AMD doesn't want us to use the term x86-64 anymore, but wants us
to use AMD64 instead. I think we should comply - they invented the
architecture, so they have the right to give it a name. Neither
Microsoft nor Intel have such a right.
I think we should use whatever is most informative and least confusing
to our users - we owe our allegiance to them and not to a processor vendor.
