I think we should use whatever is most informative and least confusing to our users - we owe our allegiance to them and not to a processor vendor. And why do you think this is x86-64?

I do not believe I have personally seen, or at least noticed, that specific term before. Something like

"Release for 64-bit Windows (Win NT, 2000, XP, Vista, 7 ) on AMD64-type processors from AMD and Intel"

should be clear enough.
