To find information about your CPU including architecture, execute lscpu in terminal.
Example:
lscpu
yields …
Architecture: i686 CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit Byte Order: Little Endian CPU(s): 4 On-line CPU(s) list: 0-3 Thread(s) per core: 2 Core(s) per socket: 2 Socket(s): 1 Vendor ID: GenuineIntel CPU family: 6 Model: 42 Stepping: 7 CPU MHz: 2301.000 BogoMIPS: 4589.37 Virtualization: VT-x L1d cache: 32K L1i cache: 32K L2 cache: 256K L3 cache: 3072K For Intel systems, the Vendor ID is - GenuineIntel and for AMD - AuthenticAMD.
But they are compatible. It is a bit of an historical artifact in that AMD was the creator of the 64 bit ‘long’ mode, and later Intel matched that creation. But naming often refers to any 64 bit binary as an AMD/64bit format, usually with the label ‘AMD64’.
