    Yes, both refer to AMD64. The can both run 32-bit apps.
    In fact if running a 32 bit kernel it should behave identically to a normal
    32 bit x86 processor.
    If running a 64 bit kernel, 32bit programs can be run. However by default
    the debian AMD64 port does not support this because it would require 32bit
    libraries which are a major pain. But most users of Debian AMD64 would have
    no reason to run 32 bit programs unless they wanted to run certain non-free
    programs, or one of the few programs that currently don't compile/run right
    on AMD64 such as WINE and OpenOffice.
