Subject:   kernel designations terminology confusion -- amd64 used for into quad core
Message-ID:  <200908051414.49468.david@vizion2000.net>

Hi every one

My understanding is that one uses the amd64 for building a kernel for systems 
with Intel Quad Core processors.

It is helpful when naming conventions follow a logical strand. I mean why does 
freebsd use a single manufacturer's name to represent a genre?
