[QUOTE="SubliminalThought, post: 132611, member: 1503"] AFAIK - The x86 instruction set was developed ages ago and intel has been leading advancements in it (it was originally 8bit btw). However each manufacturer at some point has implemented propriety instructions into the instruction set for their optimised cores. Intel had a few such as SSX extension and AMD had a few of their own. When it was time for 64bit again, both manufacturers did their own. AMD named theirs AMD64. At the time, intel tried pushing their Itanium 64 bit platform, which never quite made it to the desktop/mainstream market. Consequently AMD64 stuck more in mainstream. Intel did follow up with providing 64 bit extensions on their CPUs which were compatible with a x86-64 bit standard. But by then I think the AMD64 name stuck already. [/QUOTE]
