The cause why that image is called amd64 is that it follows Ubuntu's
naming scheme which uses "amd64" for images for the 64bit x86
architecture and "i386" for the 32bit, now
on-almost-any-machine-obsolete address size architecture (actually,
both names are misleading... Ubuntu 13.10 amd64 runs on any x86
processor with the 64bit instruction set, being produced by AMD, Intel
or even VIA, and Ubuntu 13.10 i386 will *not* run on a 386, even if it
had enough memory; it needs the features of the i686 generation).

Greetings,
Marcus
