EM64T

Talk status

This discussion is still ongoing as of 2023-07-24.

Isn't EM64T the older (former) name for "Intel 64"? Intel, hesitant to implement a 64-bit x86 in the first place (since they had IA-64, i.e. Itanium), started to go with AMD's x86-64 (released as AMD64) as "IA-32e" (for "Intel Architecture 32-Bit extensions"), then as EM64T ("Extended Memory 64 Technology") and as of 2006 as "Intel 64" (just like AMD64).

Therefore, shouldn't EM64T be changed to Intel 64?

See also Project Talk:X86#clarification, that "x86" in this article is actually 32-bit x86 –

It should also be made clear to the reader, that alternative terms for AMD64 are x86-64 and x64.
