Can I install Ubuntu v16-Amd 64bit if the processor is Intel?
It makes sense to put the 32 version for Intel, if the memory on the laptop is 8GB, the architecture is 64-bit, and will there be any inconsistencies if the version is under AMD?

The architecture is called AMD64 because it was developed in AMD, and Intel implemented support for it. AMD64 is a further extension of the х86 architecture to support 64-bit instruction set and 64-bit memory addressing.
Feel free to bet, this is the correct name for the 64-bit architecture for modern Intel processors.
Yes, Intel still has its own IA-64 Itanium architecture, but it is outdated and was intended for servers with a line of processors with the same name (Itanium). IA-64 Itanium is based on a different architecture from x86 and the programs for х86 are not compatible with Itanium.
