On the 9i and 10g download pages, I have seen references to the following 64-bit Intel architectures:

x64,
64-bit Itanium,
x86-64,
IA64,
Intel EM64T,
AMD64, and
Power

Is it just me or is this totally confusing...!

I have tried searching google for a decent explanation/comparison of each of these architectures but I can' find anything which seems to cover all of them. I havea feeling that some of the above refer to the same chip.

Anyone know the difference between these chip architectures, and which ones are compatible with each other...? Or a link to a website that can help me out...

e.g. on the 9i download page there is no software for Itanium, will the IA64 version work on that chip..?

Thanks
