Wrong architecture or manufacturer - conflicting information

-3

1

This is what I get from the set processor(Environment variable) command in 64-bit Windows 7:

PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE = AMD64

PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER = Intel64 Family 6 Model 58 Stepping 9, GenuineIntel

And this is what I get in "System Information":

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3...

But how? What type of architecture and processor am I using?

5All 64-bit x86 processors use the AMD 64-bit architecture. You have an Intel i3. The 64-bit extension to the x86 architecture is an AMD creation and thus Intel licenses it from AMD and extended it themselves. – Ramhound – 2015-04-21T10:50:49.280

2This question has been asked before. The major reason is that it shows virtually no research effort on your part. – Ramhound – 2015-04-21T10:54:50.487
