64Bit Wording

Thursday, February 16th, 2006 by Peter

For some time now, Martin and me maintain a table of 64bit terminology in different products and articles. You might also have experienced the confusion with Intel 64bit and AMD 64bit products. Here are our results so far:

Context 64bit Technology from Intel 64bit Technology from AMD
Intel Terminology Itanium EM64T / Intel64 / IA-32e / Clackamas Technology (CT)
AMD Terminology Itanium AMD64
Microsoft MSI Format INTEL64 AMD64, X64
Microsoft Windows 64bit Edition, Edition for Itanium-based Systems X64 Edition
Microsoft C Compiler IA64 X64
VSExtComp ITANIUM OPTERON

For real fun, look at this list of supported operating systems for a Microsoft product.
