A posting by Linus Torvalds on the linux-kernel mailing list suggests that [b]Intel[/b] should be more than a little ashamed of itself when it announced its 64-bit extensions last week.
[blockquote]Torvalds was replying to a post which asked whether there was any difference between X86_64 and X86-64.
He said the real name for the instruction set should be X86-64, and always has been.
Torvalds said he was "a bit disgusted" at Intel for not even mentioning AMD in its documentation or its press releases. "I'd almost be inclined to rename the thing as AMD64 just to give credit where credit is due," he said. "However, it's just not worth the pain and confusion".
