"AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) was the first to produce a processor that had a 64 bit architecture."

Nope. Sun's sparc processors were 64 bit long before that, and I am sure they weren't the first.

64-bit CPUs have existed in supercomputers since the 1960s and in RISC-based workstations and servers since the early 1990s. In 2003 they were introduced to the (previously 32-bit) mainstream personal computer arena, in the form of the x86-64 and 64-bit PowerPC processor architectures.
