Actual the rebadging has been done by shady distros... we got stuck buying a bad batch and had to report it. Someone somewhere is screwing things up... so I don't think its AMD, otherwise they wouldn't have added holographic security to all their new chips.
Itanium doesn't quite run on x86 instructions... but otherwise yes, Intel was in the 64bit market a bit earlier
