See https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-515952-highlight-x8664.html for the reasons why it's still amd64 instead of, say, x86_64.

thanks for that always interested in finding something informative to read while at work

yes, interesting indeed.
i personally think too that amd64 is a bit misleeding.
