I am trying to download image to install on Intel server. The download page only has option for AMD? The computer I am using has AMD. How do I get install for intel server?

amd64 is shorthand notation for the 64-bit instruction set that AMD invented.

While it is true that the original X86 32-bit CPUs and instruction sets were invented by Intel, they originally shifted to IA64 afterwards, but that design was hugely different. AMD on the other hand, invented a somewhat downward-compatible instruction set for their CPUs, which was soon adopted by Intel as well.

So, in short: The AMD64 download runs on both Intel and AMD machines.
