x64

x64 (or x86-64) Smooth the transition from x86 (32-bits) to x64 (64-bits). x64 is a generic name for the 64-bit extensions to Intel’s and AMD’s 32-bit x86 instruction set architecture (ISA). AMD introduced the first version of x64, initially called x86-64 and later renamed AMD64. Intel named their implementation IA-32e and then EMT64. There are some slight incompatibilities between the two versions, but most code works fine on both. We call this intersection x64.
