Can I install Ubuntu v16 -Amd 64bit if the processor is Intel?
Sense to put the 32 version for Intel, if the memory on the laptop is 8Gig, the architecture is 64 bit and will there be any inconsistencies if the version is for AMD?

    The architecture is called AMD64 because it was developed at AMD, and Intel implemented support. AMD64 is a further extension of the х86 architecture to support 64-bit instruction set and 64-bit memory addressing.

    Feel free to put, this is the correct name for the 64-bit architecture for modern Intel processors.

    Yes, Intel has its own IA-64 Itanium architecture, but it is outdated and intended for servers with a line of processors of the same name (Itanium). IA-64 Itanium is based on a non- x86 architecture and х86 programs are not compatible with Itanium.
