How do I know if I have an AMD64 bit?
Table of Contents
To know whether your system is 32-bit or 64-bit, type the command “uname -m” and press “Enter”. This displays only the machine hardware name. It shows if your system is running 32-bit (i686 or i386) or 64-bit(x86_64).
Is my processor x86-64?

In the right pane, look at the System Type entry. For a 32-bit version operating system, it will say X86-based PC. For a 64-bit version, you’ll see X64-based PC.
Is AMD64 and Intel 64 same?
X64, amd64 and x86-64 are names for the same processor type. It’s often called amd64 because AMD came up with it initially. All current general-public 64-bit desktops and servers have an amd64 processor. There is a processor type called IA-64 or Itanium.
How can you tell ARM64 or ARM?
To figure out if it’s ARM or x86, you’ll look at the Instruction Set section—again, you’re just looking for the basic info here, like the letters “arm.” On my Pixel 2 XL (the above screenshots), for example, it’s pretty clear that it’s an ARM64 device.

Is my PC ARM64?
Open the Settings app. Navigate to System > About. On the right, check out the System type value. It shows either a x86-based processor (32-bit), x64-based processor (64-bit), or ARM-based processor depending on the hardware you have.
What is ARM x86 x64?
The major difference between the two architectures is that x86/x64 is a complex instruction set (CISC) with many advanced features while ARM is a reduced instruction set (RISC), that only has a handful of instructions by comparison.
Is my computer ARM64 or AMD64?
Is my laptop ARM64 or AMD64? Find CPU architecture type in command prompt Open a new command prompt. Type echo %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE% and hit the Enter key. The output includes one of the following values: x86 for a 32-bit CPU, AMD64 for a 64-bit CPU, or ARM64.
What is difference between AMD64 and ARM64?
The x86 has some very powerful instructions, the arm can still beat it in a fight. x86 can operate on direct memory as well. AMD64 supports 3D-Now and 3D-Now Extensions, in both 32-bit (legacy) and 64-bit (long) mode. AMD64 is designed to concurrently enable 32 and 64-bit processing with no loss of performance.
Does%%processor_architecture% return x86 or amd64?
%processor_architecture% returns x86 only when getting the value in 32bit programs. In 64bit programs it returns correctly AMD64. What’s this 64-bit Explorer you speak of?
Who calls the x64 architecture AMD64?
“Nobody outside of Microsoft and AMD calls the x64 architecture ‘amd64’.” – completely false. Everybody calls it amd64. Especially because Intel changed its own name for this architecture three times. A smarter installer that detects the OS arch and downloads only the right package is of course a good idea.
Where can I find the processor architecture in the SDK?
The SDK adds a new version of System.Data.dll in C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Reference Assemblies\\Microsoft\\Framework\\.NETFramework\\v4.5. Examining that assembly, you can see that the ProcessorArchitecture is set to None.
How can I change the targeted processor architecture of my project?
Please consider changing the targeted processor architecture of your project through the Configuration Manager so as to align the processor architectures between your project and references, or take a dependency on references with a processor architecture that matches the targeted processor architecture of your project.
