I found this wiki http://wiki.debian.org/DebianAMD64Faq ,
it states that AMD64 / Intel64 / x86_64 are the same thing:

Debian on AMD64 FAQ

Q: Is this port only for AMD 64-bit CPUs?
A: No. "AMD64" is the name chosen by AMD for their 64-bit extension to
the Intel x86 instruction set. Before release, it was called "x86-64" or
"x86_64", and some distributions still use these names. Intel refers to
its AMD64 implementation as "Intel64" previously named "EM64T". The
architecture is AMD64-compatible and Debian AMD64 will run on AMD and
Intel processors with 64-bit support. Because of the technology
paternity, Debian uses the name "AMD64".


I've always wondered about the "amd" in the name, but it makes sense
now. Thanks for the input..
