Calling it IA-32 or i*86 is equally wrong when it comes down to x86
based CPUs ;-) Remember, AMD invented the AMD64 architecture, and Intel
started cloning that architecture. 

BTW: You are not supposed to call them EM64T without writing out the
full name Extended Memory 64 Technology (tm) first somewhere in the same
document. ;-)
