Yes, you had answer to this. Let me just repeat: "x86" is a generic term for Intel, AMD, VIa, Transmeta, etc processors. Intel are Intel processors and these might include things like "x86" compatible CPUs (Pentiums, for example) and Itanium chips.

You should order "x86" if plan to use "x86" chips (either form Intel or AMD or any other of those).
