Is it possible to install ubuntu v16 -amd 64bit if the Intel processor?
Meaning to put 32 version for Intel, if the memory on the laptop is 8gig, the architecture 64 bit and will there be any inconsistencies if the version is under AMD?
Answer 1, Authority 100%
Architecture is called AMD64
Because it was developed in AMD, and Intel – implemented support. AMD64
It is a further extension of the x86
architecture to support a 64-bit command set and a 64-bit memory addressing.
Boldly put it, it is the correct name of the 64 bit architecture for modern Intel processors.
Yes, Intel has another IA-64
Itanium, but it is outdated and intended for servers with a line of processors with the same name (Itanium). IA-64
Itanium is based on the X86
architecture and programs for x86
are not compatible with itanium.
