yes
x86_64 -> amd64 is a good idea, as the architecture was created by AMD; dropping an underscore is nice too
no the architecture was created by IntelAMD added the 64bit capabilities in a compatible way other than Intel itself tried with Itanium which was not able to run i686 instructions and later Intel was forced to license the AMD extensions
so no, it is a terrible idea rename x86_64 to AMD64 because it suggests "that's not for Intel CPUs" and it's proven that people think that when read only "AMD"
NOTHING above is reasonable but just a "make changes for the sake of a change" or "having solution, seeking problem now"
