Not sure about the WinPE environment, but Win XP+ has the 'systeminfo' command. In the output search for "System type:" and get a line that includes "x64-based PC" or "X86-based PC".Okay, that got me closer! Sadly systeminfo isn't available in the PE environment. Just had to dig a bit deeper into the cranium...
ie: systeminfo | find "System Type:" > cpu.info <http://cpu.info>
It also has a "Processor(s):" section, that can report "X86 Family ..." or "Intel64 Family ..." or some such. You may be able to branch on those results.

Evening all,
My brain is kinda mushy right now, and google fu must be really
weak right now.
I'm trying to determine if I can get arch info via a batch script
or some other mechanism that is available in a PE environment.
I can add to the PE if necessary, ultimately the goal is to just
have the generic PE do what I need without having to customize it
too much.
The end goal is close... I'm pxe booting machines, using ipxe,
with http for transfer, starting a Windows install with a somewhat
custom autounattend.xml file. The install(s) use a install.wim
file that contains all current SP, etc. This allows me to install
a machine, and not have to spend 2 days playing the Windows update
game. Probably the biggest win out of all this is that other than
setting up reference machines, it's all done with Open Source
tools. Well, Okay technically the xml file was originally created
between WAIK, and an online tool, then tweaked by hand. All the
reference machines are VMs.
Having rambled on about that... The answer I'm seeking is how to
determine whether I want to install x86 or x64 without user
intervention. Most of the hardware is x64, but not all of it. Can I do this easily?
