Actually, they both make what are known as x86-64 processors, which are processors that can run both 32-bit and 64-bit programs. Check the specifications of the processor for something like "64-bit" or "64-bit Ready" to make sure you can run both x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) programs!

Is true that Intel uses AMD's Intellectual property and if Intel sued AMD they could restrict Intel from designing 64-bit CPUs?
Intel originally licensed its x86 tech to AMD. AMD later on improved on that design to x86-64, which it later renamed to AMD64. AMD licensed its AMD64 tech to Intel. As Intel licenses AMD the right to use the original x86 architecture (upon which AMD's x86-64 is based), these rival companies now rely on each other for 64-bit processor development. This has led to a case of mutually assured destruction should either company revoke its respective license.
Does mac use Intel?
Yes, Apple's Intel transition was the process of changing the CPU of Macintosh computers from PowerPC processors to Intel x86 processors.
Which Intel and AMD processors support SMP?
The most popular entry level SMP systems use the x86 instruction set architecture and are based on Intel's Xeon, Pentium D, Core Duo & Core 2 Duo based processors and AMD's athlon64 X2, Quad FX or Opteron 200 & 2000 Series.
Are AMD processors supported in Red Hat Enterprise Linux?
Red Hat Enterprise Linux uses a generic kernel that will run on any relatively modern x86 processor, including those from Intel, AMD, VIA, and Transmeta.
A generic name for Intel processors released after the original 8086 processor is?
x86
What are the differences between an Intel x86 and AMD x86 platform?
Because Intel have intern cash memory and ther using is so quickly, then AMD dont have it.
Does IBM aix support x86 system?
IBM AIX currently only supports Power chip processors, which are not the Intel X86 format.
Which series of CPU used on socket-7?
Older X86 Architecture that was primarily used as a replacement for Socket 5. Commonly used for the Intel P5 Pentium processors. Also used for AMD K5 and K6 processors. Supported speeds from as low a 70mhz to 233mhz.
What is an explanation of x86-based CPUs?
These are the Central Processing Unit (CPU) chips used inside Windows computers (and now Macintosh too). For example, the Pentium is an x86-based CPU. Originally built by Intel, other manufacturers like AMD make x86 CPUs. See Wikipedia:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel#Intel.2C_x86_processors.2C_and_the_IBM_PC
What do you mean x86-processor-based computer?
An x86-processor-based computer is any computer that has a processor that runs on Intel's 32-bit instructions* or AMD's 64-bit instructions**.*The term "x86" refers to the 32-bit architecture that is based on Intel's 8086 processors and its derivatives and extensions (8086, 80186, 80286, 80386, 80486, Pentium ["80586"], Pentium Pro/Celeron/Core [80686]). In certain multi-architectural builds of certain programs, x86 is also called i386.**x86_64 is an extension to x86 that supports 64-bit instructions. Initially pioneered by AMD, and later integrated into later [usually multicore] processors by Intel for cross-compatibility. In certain multi-architectural builds of certain programs, x86_64 is also called amd64 or Intel64.
Which processor is used in Linux for desktops?
Linux can be run on a variety of processors, including several that have been used for desktop systems. The most notable would be Intel and AMD x86 processors, as well as PowerPC processors (used in older Macs. ) Other processors used in desktop systems now or in the past and supported by Linux include Motorola 68k processors, Alpha processors, MIPS processors, and ARM processors.
Which graphics drivers is compatible with Intel celeron CPU?
All of them. All drivers for video cards running on x86 processors are compatible with Celeron processors.
