[Flaimbait] "amd64" vs "x86-64"

[Mike Hunter]

Hi,

I was wondering if anybody here has discussed the difference in
terminology between FreeBSD and Linux regarding the amd64 architecture.
Now that Intel is making chips that support AMD's instruction set, one
could argue that it would be better to use a vendor-neutral term to
describe the architecture.

I condemn Intel for the games they've played over AMD's architecture, and
I'm bringing this up to try to be "fair" to Intel; I'm only bringing it up
as something that should be discussed as a possible help to the FreeBSD
community as this architecture moves forward.  Would the FreeBSD community
stand to benefit to adopt Linux's "x86-64" terminology?
