I voted 'amd64' because it must constantly irritate Intel to see it (and it's historically accurate). I'll live with accidentally downloading aarch64 tarballs by mistake every once in a while because the names are so similar to each other.

@Chris Siebenmann @rk: not a typewriter yeah the arguement against amd64 is that you can't distinguis arm64. x86_64 should remain intel's failed 64 bit extension we should never let them forget
