I think it's wrong to say that it's a generic name for all 64 bits
processors. 64 bits CPU:s is not only the latest processors from AMD
and Intel with the x86-64 extension. There are many vendors with other
64 bits architectures, like PowerPC and Intels Itanium (IA-64), and
they are not supported by the latest Ubuntu AMD64.

But for the OP question about support for the Intel Dual Core (as
already answered) the Ubuntu AMD64 works fine.
