*"x86-64* is a 64-bit <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit> superset 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superset> of the x86 instruction set 
architecture <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_architecture>. The x86-64 
instruction set natively supports Intel 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel>'s x86 and was designed by Advanced 
Micro Devices <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Micro_Devices> 
(AMD), who have since renamed it *AMD64*. This architecture has been 
cloned by Intel under the name *Intel 64* (formerly known as *EM64T* 
among other names).^[1] 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64#_note-ewmppa> This leads to the 
common use of the names /x86-64/ or *x64* as more vendor-neutral terms 
to collectively refer to the two nearly identical implementations."
