AMD64 = 64-bit
I386 = 32-bit

You'll see AMD64 referred to quite a bit with 64-bit related files/folders on Windows. Its quite normal.

My buddy Chris posted not to long back a bit more information about 'AMD64'. Take a look; http://www.sevenforums.com/general-discussion/84689-why-windows-reporting-amd64.html#post733343

Intel uses AMD's method of 64 bit processing, since it was much closer to true x64 then Intel's method was. In fact Intel's own design (Itanium) wasn't backwards compatible with 32 bit. AMD generated a good amount of buzz with AMD64 even though it wasnt too useful at that time, so Intel decided not to reinvent the wheel and just used AMD's way.
