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).
