Why does System Variable say AMD64 when I'm running Intel Core i7?

I have to be somewhere!
I'm poking around the Window 7 OS and when I go to
Control Panel>System and Security>System
click the Advanced System Settings link on the menu on the left and get the
SYSTEM PROPERTIES dialog box.
Cool right? I think you get there faster in XP, but what the hey.
So I click the ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES button and look at the familiar Path statments and stuff but then I see these two lines and it makes my head hurt:
PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE AMD64
PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER Intel64 Family 6 Model 26 Stepping 4, GenuineIntel
Was there a buyout and no one told the government?
Or is this the result of some cross-licensing stuff between AMD and Intel?
Weird!
