Why is Windows reporting AMD64?
My processor is a Intel Core 2 duo CPU E8400 and I'm running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit and XP mode. The motherboard uses Intel ICH10 Southbridge.

'It is called AMD64 because AMD was the first with a working 64-bit chip with those specifications that could also run older 32-bit code. The original 64-bit Intel chip I think was called IA64 with a different instruction set which could not run 32-bit PC code.' (
