... It says "AMD" because it's the architecture designed by AMD. Would it be named "intel", "ia" or "x86_64", we'd be in thesame situation because it's not only for Intel CPUs and the last CPU namex *86 was made (not even mentioning introduced) years ago.
OK, you've listed other confusing bits of terminology. Why do these bad choices make other bad choices better?
I don't see any better choice and it's way too late to change it (not only with debian). AMD created the architecture so AMD named it. Intel accepted the architecture. Go blame AMD or Intel, but I recommend you to blame yourself for having assumptions... -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, uhlar@fantomas.sk ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
