   Jun 18, 2014 · AMD didn't so much "put their name on the instruction set" (AMD's name for their 64-bit architecture is x86-64). "AMD64" is simply the name Debian (and Ubuntu followed) used for their x86-64 distribution, because during early development only AMD manufactured compatible 64-bit CPUs. Read more.

   Feb 6, 2016 · The gist of the matter is: You can install AMD64 software on both AMD and Intel processors, as long as they support that type of architecture (Don't worry, almost all processors released in the last 5 years do). So just go ahead and install Ubuntu using the 64 bit iso.

   Dec 12, 2023 · By far and away the most used architecture for Ubuntu is amd64, also known as x86-64 in some contexts. Ubuntu is still built for the very first amd64 CPUs, the AMD K8 from 2003 and Intel’s 64-bit Prescott from 2004, using the original instruction set architecture (ISA).

   Oct 31, 2012 · AMD intially implemented x86-64, before Intel. For this reason, most distros (and other OSs such as OpenBSD) did a first release when it was still AMD only, or renaming to x86-64 wasn't considered worth the effort.

   Why is AMD x86-64 called AMD64?

   • Opterons were available before Intel had x86-64 CPUs available and Linux started calling it amd64 to differentiate it from IA-64. Later Intel licensed AMD's 64-bit extensions to include in their own CPUs x86-64 CPUs. Rather than rename everything the name amd64 remained. AMD intially implemented x86-64, before Intel.

   Is Ubuntu based on a 64-bit CPU?

   • Ubuntu is still built for the very first amd64 CPUs, the AMD K8 from 2003 and Intel’s 64-bit Prescott from 2004, using the original instruction set architecture (ISA). Over the years, Intel and AMD have added a number of extensions to the ISA, for example:

   Does AMD64 support x86 Linux?

   • The ability to address over 4GB of memory is one of the few advantages with the AMD64 architecture which would affect desktop users. However, recent versions of the x86 Linux kernel have the ability to address arbitrary amounts of memory, with little or no performance hit.
