It's called amd64 because AMD invented the x86-64 processor instruction set, it works both on Intel and AMD
Thank you! I'm just not used to seeing things named like that, it's usually just x86 in my experience for some reason so I wasn't sure, and had nobody to ask haha. Thank you, setting that up immanently!
x86 are 32-bit applications.
amd64 are 64-bit applications.
Or sometimes also x86_64
